• Each license is present. Licenses are listed in ascending alphanumeric order by license ID.
• The feature for each license is the expected feature. The features enabled are listed by license. An all-inclusive license has All features listed.

Meaning

The output shows a list of the licenses installed on the device and how they are used. Verify the following information:

• Each license is present. Features are listed in ascending alphanumeric order by license name. The number of licenses is shown in the third column. Verify that the appropriate number of licenses are installed.
• The number of used licenses matches the number of configured features. If a licensed feature is configured, the feature is considered used. The sample output shows that the BGP route reflection feature is configured.
