SUBSCRIPTION LICENSING COMMANDS
SHOW
LICENSE EXTERNAL
show license external
Overview Use this command to show information about subscription (external) licenses.
For products with stacking, additional information may be displayed to indicate
the source of the current feature entitlements. If this information indicates that a
device is “NOT PRESENT”, you need to take action as described in the warning in
the output.
Syntax
show license external [stored]
Mode Privileged Exec
Usage If you subscribe to a feature on a VCStack, you only need to purchase a subscription
license for one member of the stack. This command enables you to see which stack
member you purchased the license for.
Subscription licenses are contained in a Capability Response File (CRF). When you
load the license onto the stack, the software checks that the CRF is valid for one of
the stack members (the “source stack member”). The software then applies the
license entitlement to all members of the stack.
If you need to modify the license, for example to extend its expiry date, you need
to know which stack member you purchased the license for. This lets you make
sure you modify the source stack member’s license, instead of accidentally
creating a new license for a different stack member.
For more information, see the Licensing section of the AMF Feature Overview and
Configuration_Guide. This guide includes instructions for transfering licenses to
replacement stack members.
Examples To show information about what subscription features the device is licensed for,
use the following command:
awplus#show license external
Parameter Description
stored Display all licenses that are on all stack members, including licenses
that are not currently in use. Without this parameter, the output only
displays licenses that are in use. In most situations, all licenses on the
stack will be in use, so this parameter is only useful if the output of
show license external does not include all the licenses that you expect
to be present.
