What it Means

The output shows a list of the license usage and a list of the licenses installed on the Services Router. Verify the following information:

• Each license is present. Licenses are listed in ascending alphanumeric order by license ID.
• The state of each license is valid.

  A state of invalid indicates that the license key is not a valid license key. Either it was entered incorrectly or it is not valid for the specific device.

• The feature for each license is the expected feature. The features enabled are listed by license. An all-inclusive license has All features listed.
• All configured features have the required licenses installed. The Licenses needed column must show that no licenses are required.

Purpose

Verify that the licenses fully cover the feature configuration on the Services Router.

Action

From the CLI, enter the show system license usage command.

                 Licenses     Licenses    Licenses 
  Feature name               used       installed    needed 
  j-flow                     0            0           1
  bgp-reflection             1            1           0
  dlsw                       1            1           0

What it Means

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

• Each licensed feature is present. Features are listed in ascending alphabetical 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 DLSw and BGP route reflection features are configured.
• A license is installed on the Services Router for each configured feature. For every feature configured that does not have a license, one license is needed.

  For example, the sample output shows that the user has configured the J-Flow traffic analysis feature but has not purchased the license for it. An additional license is required to be in compliance with license agreements.

Purpose

Verify the license keys installed on the Services Router.

Action

From the CLI, enter the show system license keys command.
