Troubleshooting CSL License Issues
Determining the License Status
You can install multiple licenses on a Cisco CSR 1000v. To determine if a license is active, enter the
show
license
or
show license detail
command. The display indicates the license status. The following are the
possible states for license:
•
Active, In Use
This state indicates that the license is active and is in use by the Cisco CSR 1000v.
•
Active, Not in Use
This state indicates that the license is installed on the Cisco CSR 1000v, but is not currently being used.
•
Inactive
This state indicates that the license is installed on the Cisco CSR 1000v but is no longer valid. For
example, a license that has reached the end of the subscription term is shown as inactive.
The following example shows a Cisco CSR 1000v with two licenses installed, an AX technology license and
a Security technology license:

The AX technology license is shown as Active and in use, while the Security technology license is Active
but not in use. To use the Security technology license, the
license boot level
command needs to be configured
to
“
security
”
and the Cisco CSR 1000v must then be reloaded.
The following example of the
show version
command shows that the Cisco CSR 1000v has an AX technology
license installed, but that the license boot level command has been set to
“
security
”
, but the Cisco CSR 1000v
has not yet been reloaded.

Migrating Technology Package Licenses to Cisco IOS XE 3.13S
Beginning with Cisco IOS XE 3.13S, the names of the technology package licenses have changed. The base
feature content is the same, but the names as shown in the licenses and displays have changed.
•
The Standard technology package was changed to the IPBase technology package.
•
The Advanced technology package was changed to the Security technology package.
•
The Premium technology package was changed to the AX package.
