Cisco Licensing Query

Hi Ferdinand,
Thanks for your offer of help, it's much appreciated.
The devices themselves are managed by a 3rd party, so I've requested this information and will come back to you ASAP.
Thanks,
David.

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can advise on some Cisco licensing/support woes we've been having.
We've recently moved from a manged service to managing the license/support renewals ourselves.
Without having any contract numbers available, is there a way to check the device serial numbers to see their current support status?
I've tried various avenues with Cisco support but haven't managed to get anywhere so far.
Thanks in advance,
David.

How to read the output of 'tarantella license query' command?

I'm trying to track my license usage (to better determine when to buy new licenses, and to track usage over time).
When I issue the 'tarantella license query command, this is typical of the output I see:
[root@sgdserver ~]# /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella license query
License usage at: Mon Feb 11 14:03:53 EST 2008
Type                In use / Total
Base                6      / 230
UNIX                4      / 230
Mainframe           0      / 230
Windows             0      / 230
AS/400              0      / 230
[root@sgdserver ~]#What is the above saying? Is it saying that I am using 10 licenses out of my 230, or am I just using 6 licenses? In other words, do I add up the numbers or just use the highest one? Or do I just have to worry about the 'Base' license number?
Thanks.

The base license is the number of users that are logged into a webtop.
From there you count then connectivity type.
So you have 6 webtop licenses out of 230 consumed and of those 4 users have launched UNIX sessions out of 230 you have licensed.
hope this helps.

In reviewing the Cisco Licensing Guide, there is a license part number for MPLS on the Nexus 7010. Part Number is N7K-MPLS1K9.

In reviewing the Cisco Licensing Guide, there is a license part number for MPLS on the Nexus 7010. Part Number is N7K-MPLS1K9. Is there a corresponding part number for the Nexus 7710?

For the benefit of others, here is what we found. The N7K was hitting the bug CSCtg95381.
Symptom
Nexus 7000 may punt traffic to CPU; so that the traffic may experience random delay or drop.
Further looking, ARP is learned and FIB adjacency is in FIB adjacency table.
Conditions
The problem is caused by race condition. Some hosts have not responded to the ARP refresh sent by
N7k which in turn trigger to delete ARP entry due to expiry. As a result the route delete notification is
sent to URIB from the process. However there is still traffic coming to given IP address as a result the next packet that hit glean resulting in triggering ARP and hope ARP is learnt from the host this time.
Workaround
(s):
Clear ip route < host>.
Not totally explains why it was working for certain client-server combination but yet the workaround is holding well for end-points when implemented.
There would be no host route for the destination server in the adjacency manager on N7K-01. The only thing thats there is the subnet route pointing towards the vlan gateway address. Implementing the work-around, a new /32 route can now be seen in the adjacency manager for the server.
The bug is fixed in releases starting 5.1(5). Planning to upgrade to 5.2(3a).

But i am not much familiar with the licensing part. show version and show ip ips license output has been attached for the reference. Following are my queries.

2) Is there any extra IPS Services Contract is required (other than the smartnet Coverage) for this router to enable IPS engine and to load new IPS Signature files from Cisco?
Advanced Thanks and Regards,
Sihanu N

1) Is this platform and IOS is capable for enabling IPS Engine?
Yes, it is (3945 with a security IOS image will be able to do it)
2)Is there any extra IPS Services Contract is required (other than the smartnet Coverage) for this router to enable IPS engine and to load new IPS Signature files from Cisco?
No, you are good to go.
I will write a future articule about how to enable this feature on an IOS router so stay tune in my website at http:laguiadelnetworking.com for further information as I will cover all of the details,

Oracle 10g Licensing Query

Hi,
I have a query with regards to Oracle 10g licensing for additional options (OLAP, Data Mining, Partitioning, Spatial & Database Vault) on top of enterprise edition.
Even though i am not using any of the options, i have them installed along with enterprise edition. Do i still need to pay for these additional options?
From 10g, you can always prove to oracle that any of the features/options are not in use via DBA_FEATURE_USAGE_STATISTICS.
We are using shared infrastructure for hosting many application databases. Today we have a application that uses only partitioning, but tommorrow we might have to create a database within the same oracle home that uses OLAP & data mining as well.
would be interested in knowing what is oracle stand on this i.e. we pay for additional options only if we are using them or we pay just because they are installed regardless of we are using them or not??
Thanks & Regards
Chandar

Chandark,
You need to pay licenses if you are using it commercially and if it is installed and you haven't paid for it then how would you stop anyone not using it because its not paid but its there. This will be against your contractual agreement and they may fine you or you have to pay for the options. So I recommend not to install options you haven't paid for to avoid any issues. But if you are using for learning purpose and not commercial then you are good. You can further contact local Oracle Support or local Sales rep for more information
Hope this helps, regards

License query

Hi,
I have a query about licensing. This should be the realm of the suppliers, but I'm finding it hard to get an answer without going off and having a meeting wherein we commit to a purchase.
I know most vendors with an "educational" license, allow this license for use in all non for profit applications (such as Microsoft). With the development license for Oracle being "free", what is the status of a "not for profit" license, for 11G database, if in fact such a thing exists?

The latest signature release (as of this writing) is S600, released October 5, 2011.
You need to be running E4 release of software to have these installed.
See if you have S600 on your sensor (show ver), if you don't then you do not have automatic signature updates working without a valid license.(as expected)

Emergency Responder 8.5 to 8.6 upgrade - licensing query

Hi,
I've a client looking forward to upgrade CER from 8.5 to 8.6 and wants to know if he needs new license for it.
I believe it's a minor upgrade and he wouldn't need any but he had some license issue in the recent past and wants to be sure before going ahead with it.
I checked CER 8.6 Release notes, couldn't find the info:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cer/8_6/english/release/notes/cer_86.html#wp172986
I also checked CER 8.6 Administration guide but couldn't find this exact info:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cer/8_6/english/administration/guide/e911inst.html#wp1074430
Does anyone know any cisco documentation explaining the license requirement for version 8.5 to 8.6 upgrade?
Thanks in advance,
inner_silence

I have done the CER 8.5 to 8.6 upgrade for two different clients - no, you do not need a new license for this upgrade.

BE6000 CUCM 9.1 version licensing query

Hi All,
We have a BE6000 with CUCM 9.1 and UCL enhanced license subscription for 3 years. Can somebody help me understand what we need to do at the end of 3 years? Do we need to renew the licenses or do we have to purchase new licenses all together.
Thanks

Once you purchase the licenses, it stays with you and does not expire. However, if you do not keep your UCSS current and smartnet subscriptions, you will not be able to upgrade to version 10 or higher. (after three years). If you let it expire, Cisco usually has a program in place to allow the customer "get well" or "get current" for subscriptions. Instead of buying new licenses, you will be required to buy upgrades or renew your subscription at a higher price.
In a nutshell, stay current on your UCSS and SmartNet contracts and you will be fine.

SQL Server 2008 R2 Licensing Query

Hi,
If i have SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise License key for a single instance and I am installing all the shared features from the setup. Then is my license counted as being used or no?
Or is it only used when i install Database Engine?
Please mark the answer as helpful if i have answered your query. Thanks and Regards, Kartar Rana

No, a separate license is not required for
Management Tools.
However, any device that has SQL Server tools or technologies installed must have a valid SQL Server license.
Hope this clears your question..

SAP Crystal Dashboard licensing query

Hello All,
We need to purchase Xcelsius license, SAP Accounts rep has provided following link for online store where I can see Departmental edition, Personal edition and dashboard viewing licenses.
http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/en_US/DisplayCategoryProductListPage/ThemeID.29254600/categoryID.57065800/parentCategoryID.57065700
My question is we already have SAP BO premium 10 CPU licenses, we just need dashboard feature to be added on top of it. We need 3 dashboard developer licenses and a large audience should view the live dashboards.
Please suggest which license should we go with, as per my understanding we dont require viewing license as we already have 10 CPU premium license with which we can use all the features.
I know this query should be asked to the accounts rep but unfortunately I am not getting proper response from them and we need to purchase this ASAP.
Any idea would be of great help.
Thanks,
Sohel

Hi Sohel,
I look after pricing and licensing for SAP BusinessObjects BI.
BOE Premium does not provide for Xcelsius Dashboard viewing rights. BOE Premium includes Crystal Reports, Webi and OLAP Intelligence viewing rights. Xcelsius was acquired after the release of BOE Premium and it is an add-on to that license model.
To view dashboards integrated with BO Premium, you will need the Xcelsius Interactive Viewing license.
Note that this is a legacy license model. Current customers can purchase more of this but we have been positioning the BI Suite to new customers since 2011.

Oracle data lookup - Licensing query

Hi,
Not finding the right forum to post this query, so i hope the coffee shop folks can be helpful
We are running SAP R/3 4.7 Enterprise with Oracle 9.2.0 as the backend database (on Windows Server 2003 OS).
Our Oracle license is embedded with SAP i.e., not acquired separately.
For business needs we intend to make read only queries to the backend database (Oracle database lookup) programmatically through Microsoft's SharePoint portal.
For the access methods, one option is to use Business Data Catalog - BDC of sharepoint which queries the Oracle database directly (using xml).
Would appreciate comments on whether this is authorized or we need any additional component / license?
I have already noted the restrictions mentioned in note 581312, particularly point 3 which speaks about SAP provided Oracle license
Thank you
Zubair

Hi Jurjen / Hi Matt
Thanks for the responses. These have been very helpful
A couple of followup thoughts:
1. Actually, the current need i am trying to fill is to read the 'reports to' relationship from SAP so as to fill the manager field/attribute in the Sharepoint User profile. I understand that the right way to do this is through standard interfaces of SAP like RFC/BAPI with the authorization checks in place but unfortunately, my sharepoint developer is unable to use RFC with Business Data Catalog (xml based). Says only a database query is possible. Perhaps he is wrong and i am trying to confirm this. If you have any thoughts on it, please do share.
2.
>If I remember correctly even read only access can muck up the db statistics and so have an adverse effect on the applications.
So this means, database performance logs such as ST02 & ST04 may show incorrect information and it might also have an adverse impact on performance right? or anything else too.
Many thanks
Regards,

Unity 4.0 Licensing Query

Very quick question:
I have a Unity 4.0 server. A license report shows:
LICSubscribersMax: 225
LICUMSubscribersMax: 190
My failing memory seems to remember that this means that the system is licensed for 225 users, of which up to 190 can have UM enabled via their Class of Service? Specifically, the system is NOT licensed for 415 users. Could anybody confirm?
Thanks. Barry

Thanks Ryan
I did raise this with TAC as well (as I had some upgrade licenses to order) and received the following back which confirmed.
====
From a technical perspective, you have a total amount of 215 users of which 190 can be UM.
Every time you create a Unified Messaging User, you will see how a Cisco Unity Subscriber and Cisco Unity Subscriber- UM license is used.
Please let me know if this clarifies your doubts; it is always pleasure to assist you
