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.
