  • What is "Licensed on" & "Service Check Date" are ? (in CLI output)

 

How to Validate, which are all Modules (for which License is purchased) are in Actively used.

    Go through below answer.

     

    What is "Licensed on" & "Service Check Date" are ? (in CLI output): Reference

    License check date - is a static date corresponding to the software version.

    Service check date - is updated each time when you re-activate the license based on your active support contract.

     

    which are all Modules (for which License is purchased) are in Actively used

    ==> Go to System >> Resource Provisioning see which are the module has activated and used.

     

    * There from some Optional Modules as well: Contains, ASM, AFM, PSM, Link Controller, WAN, WOM, MSM, Routing Bundle and many more.

    ==> Go through System >> Resource Provisioning see which are the module has activated and used.

     

    Hope it will solve your query
