    Posted Oct 03, 2016 03:13 PM

    After activating the option of centralized licenses, I have some APs in local controllers with flags IL, and does not work provisioned again.
    Any idea about this?

    For each of your controllers, what is the output of :

     

    show license profile

     

    show license server-table

     

    show license-usage client

    Numbers seem to add up in "show license-usage client" & "show license server-table"

     

    What are the actual # of installed licenses on each of your controllers?  show license

     

    Make sure your local (clients) are pointing to the correct (server) :  show license debug

     

    Are there any entiries in the logs pertaining to those APs that are not licensed?  Are those APs terminating on the same local controller, or different ones?

    That is the output in the local controller

    (MX-TOL-UW-PB-MDF-CTRLR-LOCAL) #show license

    License Table
    -------------
    Key Installed Expires Flags Service Type
    --- --------- ------- ----- ------------

    14:24:07

    License Entries: 1

    Flags: A - auto-generated; E - enabled; R - reboot required to activate

     

    /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

     

    That is the output to the master controller

     

     

     

    Do you know the way to disable this option and that each controller manage the licences locally?

     

    Thanks

    Please edit this post and remove all your license keys .

     

    Based on the outputs you shared , it looks like you may need  additional AP licenses

    Hi Victor

     

    Is possible do roll back to this action, in order to that each controller manage yours own licence again?

     

    Thanks,

    Hi Victor
    I think that is not related with the license numbers, because before that I enable the centralized licensing all local controllers had the enough licenses number.
    It's possible do the roll back, or there is a risk of losing some license?
