VSS Lic on 4500 with Sup7L-E ?

Question

Hi,
Does anyone know the correct way to lic VSS on a 4500 SUP7L-E ?
At
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/release/note/OL_27990-01.html
Under Table 5 - Support by Image Type; VSS is listed as available on IP Base (SUP7E only) and a plain Yes under Enterprise Services,
inferring that you need Enterprise Services lic on SUP7L-E to get VSS...?
But
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps10902/ps12332/at_a_glance_c45-696645.pdf
Under Table 1 - Minimum License for VSS; IP Base or higher (7-E) or special license (7-LE and Catalyst 4500-X)
Can find no option on CCO / configuration tools to list a 'special' VSS license for 4500R+E chasiss with dual SUP7L-E and IP Base
How are you meant to purchase/license VSS on 4500E Chassis + SUP7L-E ?
thanks,
Sez

Answer 1

I have the same issue.
We are configuring VSS on Sup7L-E which has been purchased with IP  Base licensing, however when we look at the licensing summary, it  indicates that a feature of Enterprise Services has been configured .
Currently we have only configured VSS, so this  indicates Enterprise Services is required for VSS, however I cannot find  any information confirming this.
