Prime Infrastructure 2.0 license count

                   HI,
How much licenses does I have to count for 1 stack of (lets say 4 memebers) ?. I.E 1 stack is  1 license or is 1 stack #members in the stack licenses ?
Before 1 stack was 1 license, but I've heard some things that this should be changed ?
Jan

It's the same scheme for Prime Infrastructure 2.0, i.e.:
     "If a switch stack is managed through a single IP address, then it counts as only one device"

  • Prime infrastructure 1.2 licensing

    We have activated a new VM for the cisco PI,
    this substitutes an old NCS VM, so we have prepared for migration as decribedin the cisco documents
    all the procedures have been followed so the situation after installing pointpatch, backup application ncs, destroy NCS VM, deploy new PI VM that has been configured on the same basis of the old NCS and now active.
    before proceding with the restoration of the backup I have some question regarding the licenses
    we do own pak for:
    L-PILMS42-1.5K-U Prime Infrastructure LMS 4.2 - 1.5K Device Maj Upg Lic
    L-PI12-LF-1.5K-LIC Prime Infrastructure 1.2 - Lifecycle - 1.5K Device Lic PAK
    R-PI12-BASE-K9 Prime Infrastructure 1.2 Base License and Software
    and before restoring the ncs backup I'd like to ask some questions
    1) Does the system inheris the old (demo) license that was on the "old" NCS VM? (please consider that the VUDI has changed ad the VMware datastore is now different)
    2) Will the old VUDI be restored?
    3) after restoration of backup the machine will result unlicensed?
    4) Is there the risk of wireless service disruption?
    5) do I need to generate and apply licence before or after the restore?
    6) What licence do I need to register and apply to have PI functional?
    thank you

  • Prime LMS 4.2 to Prime Infrastructure 2.0 license migration

    A couple of months ago I upgraded WCS to Prime Infrastructure (WCS via NCS to PI 1.2 at that time). Meanwhile PI is running version 2.0. For some reason, when purchasing the upgrade licenses, I also got a 500 device LMS4.2 upgrade license.
    The exact part numbers were:
    R-W-PI12-M-K9 WCS 7.0 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 Migration
    R-PI12-BASE-K9 Prime Infrastructure 1.2 Base License and Software
    L-PI12-LF-500-LIC Prime Infrastructure 1.2 - Lifecycle - 500 Device Lic PAK
    L-PILMS42-500-M Prime Infrastructure LMS 4.2 - 500 Device Upgrade Lic
    I have a virtual LMS appliance running where I installed the 500 device license I mentioned. I've actually never used LMS but that's a different story...
    As I'm running low on PI device licenses (lifecycle licenses to be precise), the question is:
    Is there an officially supported scenario to migrate these 500 LMS 4.2 licenses (that are already the result of a license upgrade) to PI 2.0?
    If so: what part numbers do I need to purchase? I suppose I need
    R-L-PI2X-U-K9 LMS to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.x Upgrade
    plus
    (L-L-PI2X-500-U LMS to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.x Lifecycle Upgrade 500 Device)
    XOR
    (L-L-PI2X-500-UP LMS to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.x Lifecycle Upgrade with PASS 500 Device)
    Maybe someone can comment on that... thanks in advance.

    In case anyone is facing the same issue:
    Meanwhile, I finished the upgrade process using the following part numbers:

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 licensing

    I have a customer that is running CiscoWorks 3.2 and they also have NCS 1.1 (upgraded from WCS 7.0).  They have found that it costs way more to upgrade CiscoWorks to Cisco Prime Infrastructure than it would be to just buy licenses after they finish upgrading NCS to Cisco Prime 1.2. 
    The main question about Cisco Prime 1.2 is how the licensing works, we need to know if the licensing will work the same as it did for CiscoWorks where they only needed one license for a full stack of switches.  They believe that Prime 1.2 will require a license for each switch in the stack, which will cause them to buy several more licenses than what they feel they can afford.
    If anyone knows how the licensing works, it would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Prime Infrastructure v1.3 License upgrade

    Hi everyone
    just wanted to know what version of Prime Infrastructure I can install up to if I have a license for PI v1.3,
    Am I allowed to install v1.4, v2.0 or v2.1 or just v1.3
    Regards
    Pete.

    The license files (base and lifecycle) will work as Afroz correct noted. If you have an Assurance license, it has to be re-generated for 2.0 onwards as the licensing scheme changed to per collector vs. per interface.
    The right to use the earlier license files to upgrade requires you have a software support contract (SASU or the new PASS type)

  • Prime Infrastructure Demo License

    If I apply the Demo license to a licensed Prime Infrastructure server will it enable all the features so I can test the Netflow features for the demo period?  I have never used the Netflow features and would like to test drive for a little and decide if we want to move of our current platform.
    Thank you all.

    You purchase licenses to access the Prime Infrastructure features required to manage your network. Each license also controls the number of devices you can manage using those features.
    You need a base license and the corresponding feature licenses (such as Assurance or Data Center licenses) to get full access to the respective Prime Infrastructure features to manage a set number of devices.
    If you have installed Prime Infrastructure for the first time you may access the lifecycle and assurance features using the built-in evaluation license that is available by default. The default evaluation license is valid for 60 days for 100 devices. You can send a request to [email protected] if:
    You need to extend the evaluation period
    You need to increase the device count
    You already have a particular feature license and need to evaluate the other feature licenses
    To troubleshoot licenses, you will need to get details about the licenses that are installed on your system. Click Help > About Prime Infrastructure to access your license information.When troubleshooting licenses, it is important to remember that Prime Infrastructure has five types of licenses:
    Base: Required for every Prime Infrastructure installation. The requirement stems primarily from the need to do accurate royalty accounting by knowing how many Prime Infrastructure instances have been purchased. A Base license is required for each instance of Prime Infrastructure, and is a prerequisite for all other license types.
    Lifecycle: Regulates the total number of devices under Prime Infrastructure management.
    Assurance: Regulates the total number of NetFlow devices under Prime Infrastructure management.
    Collector: Regulates the total number of NetFlow data flows per second that Prime Infrastructure can process.
    Data Center: Regulates the total number of data-center devices under Prime Infrastructure management.This license type was introduced in Prime Infrastructure version 2.2.
    All five types of licenses are supplied as either evaluation or permanent licenses:
    Evaluation: These licenses permit or extend access to Prime Infrastructure for a pre-set period. You can apply only one evaluation license of each type (that is, only one Lifecycle evaluation license, one Assurance evaluation license, and so on). You cannot apply an evaluation license over a permanent form of the same license.
    Permanent License: These permit access to Prime Infrastructure features as specified and are not time-limited. Permanent licenses can be applied over evaluation licenses, and can also be applied incrementally (that is, you can have multiple permanent Assurance licenses, and so on).

    1) What is the server requirments ???
    2) What is operating system (windows 2008 or VMWare VMware ESX/ESXi Version 4.1 or 5.0)
    3) Is their any deticated applicance from Cisco ??
    Please help
    Thanks in advance

    In addition to the release notes for the 4.2.3 patch noted above, please also see  the 4.2 release notes which further direct you:
    Server and Client Requirements
    For information on server and client requirements for the system and browser, see Chapter 2 of Installing and Migrating to Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution 4.2 at:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.2/install/guide/
    install.html
    To summarize the options it describes, you can run the LMS product on any number of platforms - a dedicated Cisco hardware appliance, a physical server of your own with Windows or Solaris OS, a VMware server with a Windows server OS guest, or a "soft appliance". The soft appliance is package built with the underlying guest OS (a customized RHEL distribution with Cisco's Application Development Environment OS (ADE-OS)) built-in.
    Once you have installed LMS 4.2, you should patch - first to 4.2.2 and then to the current 4,2,3. then run the software update feature to bring all package components up to date.
    Regarding licensing, there is a Cisco Prime Infrastructure Ordering and Licensing Guide here.
    When you order the licenses for PI 1.2 (new customer), you order the base product and then Lifecycle licenses (required for either PI 1.2 Lifecycle and LMS installations - which option is a customer choice) and, optionally, Compliance and Assurance licenses. An upgrade order for an existing LMS customer will include the base PI 1.2 with Lifecycle licenses as well as LMS in a single SKU as noted in tables 4 and 5 of the Ordering Guide.

    Thanks!!

    Some extra info that has just come to my attention.  At one point we were running (we're actually still running) CiscoWorks with LMS3.2 and Cisco NCS 1.x.  I merged these two things together into Cisco Prime Infrastructure (upgraded the licensing to get 450 lifecycle licenses to cover the APs + all of the devices coming from LMS3.2).  I followed all of the documented procedures to upgrade the NCS appliance to Prime Infrastructure.  But when I type "show application" from the CLI of the NCS appliance (now the Prime Infrastructure appliance) I see this:
    HQ-NCS1/admin# show application
    NCS             Cisco Prime Network Control System
    Is that normal?  Maybe this is my problem.  Should this output list "Cisco Prime Infrastructure" instead of (or in addtion to) Cisco Prime Network Control System?  When I login to the GUI it shows "Cisco Prime Infrastructure" and the GUI has changed considerably (menus are different) so I'm assuming that the application upgrades I launched from the CLI to go to Prime Infrastructure worked fine.

  • Upgradding Prime Infrastructure version 1.2 and LMS 4.x to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0

    Hello,
    A customer currently have 2,500 Cisco Prime Infrastructure Lifecycle device license using Prime Infrastructure version 1.2 and LMS 4.x. the customer wants to upgrade to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade to version 2.0 without additional cost? the licenses from
    Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 has to be upgraded or we need only to rehost the VUDI.
    Also could be possible to upgrade LMS 4.x to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0?
    thanks!

    The two features you mention are two big missing ones. Another is full syslog capability. I don't believe CiscoView or day one support via package updates is included either.
    Another is less tangible - the depth of experience and documentation available for LMS vs. Prime Infrastructure (particularly the wired management features). I agree for wireless PI 2.0 looks good. Some new features are coming for wired that look promising but they are new as of PI 2.0 so I'm taking a wait and see on them.
    I hope to get 2.0 up in my lab in the next week or so and will hope to be pleasantly surprised but that's seldom the case with a major new release.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure Scheduled Configuration Archive not executing

    We have a deployment of Cisco Prime Infrastrcuture 1.3 (1.3.0.20).
    Configuration Archive is a feature that collects and archives the device configurations i.e. cisco switches.
    You have an option to schedule this to run, say daily, weekly etc. Once scheduled you can see it in the "Jobs Dashboard" and with the "next start time" of what you configured. I have a situation whereby  the time it is suppose to start - it doesnt - howevere flags the job as a "success". Not newe device configurations are archived and the "next start time" remain the same. Its almost like it is failing to execute, but some other process under the hood thinks that it was been executed correctly?
    Any ideas or experience that could help here would be appreciated!

  • Prime Infrastructure 2.1 Compliance Licensing

    Till Date LMS and Cisco Prime Infrastructure are standalone applications and do not operate in sync.
    If you deploy a new application server for LMS, it will be working separately and you can have its compliance manager running with this license applied.
    Don't expect integration. Even though PI is eventually destined to be the primary NMS application from cisco and LMS to suppose be phased out, still CPI hasn't reached the feature parity as per LMS, so we still offer our customer's option to run LMS for those features they don't find in CPI.
     So as per your question :
    So does this mean, if I have purchased the compliance licenses, I have to deploy LMS 4.2 to utilize these licenses? 
    The Answer is unfortunately yes.
    -Thanks
    Vinod

    Yes, ideally you should have received multiple PAK or license files, like base license for PI and add-on device license etc. Any one of them having **LMS** in the PAK/Licence file name refers to a LMS license.
    You should check more details with the vendor or your cisco's account manager.
    LMS has various modules embedded in itself like configuration archive, performance, monitoring, inventory management, compliance manager etc.
    It has central device repository from where all these modules get device and credential information. You'll have to configure various compliance jobs/templates etc with one or group of devices to run once or periodically.
    Compliance DB stays in sync with LMS and from there you can use it. If you are planning to use Compliance, you can install LMS and use compliance under 60 days evaluation period.
    For more details check the document :
    Using Compliance and Audit Manager Feature

  • Prime 1.3: incorrect MSE license count

    Hello!
    I have the following equipment for the WiFi infrasrtucture
    Prime NCS (1.3)
    MSE 3355 (7.4.100.0)
    WLC 5508 (7.4.100.0)
    The problem is that Prime 1.3 incorrectly displays MSE wIPS Monitor Mode APs license count.
    I have 20 monitor mode LAPs, but Prime displays only one LAP under MSE wIPS Monitor Mode APs count. In addition this one LAP is not in monitor mode.
    The wIPS Monitor Mode APs license (AIR-WIPS-AP-25) is permanent.
    At first MSE had been shipped with 7.2.110 with preinstalled wIPS license and then was uprgaded to 7.4.100.
    MSE and WLC are synced.
    I tried to change the modes for these LAPs from monitor to local and backwards, but had no luck.
    Has anyine faced this problem?

    Thank you, Scott!
    This is really, confusing, because there is no exact information about it in documentation.
    In conclusion (correct me, if I am wrong):
    MSE 7.4 supports the old AIR-WIPS-AP-25 license, but doesn't display it in proper way. This situation is normal and it should be so.

  • Can i install Cisco prime infrastructure 1.3 with 1.1 license.

    Can i install Cisco prime infrastructure 1.3 with 1.1 license.To be more precise it will be fresh installation
    but the licenses I have is of 1.1.As per my overview from Cisco prime Infrastructure 1.2 NCS and NCS(WAN)
    has been bundled into one service.But both were seperate entities in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.1.

    It doesn't matter if you want to make a new installation or an upgrade. The questions is the license.
    The base license is necessary for network management nodes (devices). But to get updates for your system you need the additional to your Base License the Lifecycle License (which can be ordered for 12, 24 or 36 months).
    The Lifycycle License is also based on the number of managed devices. In your case 50 devices. So you have that License - congratulations!
    Otherwise order the Lifecycle License for 50 devices (L-N-PI12-50-M). This generates CON-PSUU-PI12LF50 for 12 months, list price 414,81$. Then Upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2, patch the system and upgrade to 1.3.
    Have fun,
    Chris

  • Problem with implementing license in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2

    Goodday,
    For Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 I downloaded an license from the license portal.
    This concerns a eval/demo license, for an demo of Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2.
    When selecting the the type of license you get a few options, from which I selected the basic, advanced and lifecycle evaluation licenses. This is the type of license that is required for our demo.
    After completing the wizard I can download en implement the license.
    Until this point everything goes as it supposed to be.
    When i go to the Prime Infrastructure 2.2 appliance (running on VMWare ESXi 5.5.0).
    When I go to the license section in Cisco Prime Infrastructure I can implement the license, however if I implement the .lic file I get the error “Unknown feature (PI_VM)”.
    I have done implementing license files before, but this is the first time i encounterd this problem.
    Who can help me with this error?
    Regards,
    Dennie Verhoeven

    Hi Dennie,
    PI2X-BASE-LF-AS-US-VM-N-EVAL-90   >> I think you have used this product name while generating the license
    Either you try generating a new license or  contact cisco license team to generate a new license
    with the information  like below ::
    Product Name                : R-PI2X-K9
        Product Description         : R-PI2X-K9:R-PI2X-K9 : Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.x
        Product Qty                 : 1
        UDI                        : PID: PRIME-NCS-VAPL  SN: ANY:ANY
    Serial no : with ANY:ANY will work as  starting from PI 2.2 , there is no node locking with license.

  • Assurance feature set license on Prime Infrastructure 1.2

    Hi,
    I have installed Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 separately from LMS4.2. LMS4.2 is in production. I just want to run PI1.2 in parallel with LMS4.2 before migrating to PI1.2. Currently I have LifeCycle permanent license. Why don't I have the assurance lfeature set license. it is running in evaluation mode. please look below:

    Assurance is a separate license for PI 1.2. Unless and until you install an assurance license you will see that message.
    The appropriate part number would be L-PI12-AS-xx where "xx" is the number of licensed devices (15, 50, 100, 500, 1k, and 5k are the options).
    More information can be found in the Ordering and Licensing Guide.
