Evaluation license contract

dkzndkqh — Thu, 27 Mar 2025 07:07:21 GMT

My smb appliance is 1595 , R81.10.15

“I have temporarily applied an evaluation license (all-in-one) locally since my one-year contract license has expired. However, I did not remove the existing one-year contract license information. When I run the cplic print -x command, only some of the evaluation license contracts appear.

In the Web GUI, the evaluation license contracts are displayed correctly, but in the CLI, they do not appear as expected. It seems that only the blades that were not included in the original contract license are showing.

Can you add a screenshot of the CLI output?

What is the effect, do the contracts work or not ? Like e.g. can you download TP updates ?

The items marked with a red box are evaluation licenses.
In the Web GUI, everything appears normal, but when checking in the CLI, the evaluation license contract does not appear for some of them.

Nothing is malfunctioning or not working. It just appears differently in the GUI.
As shown in the screenshot, the device status is normal, and features like AV updates are working properly.

I would suggest to just forget it. All is working, and soon the box will have its new license, so why bother about a cosmetic issue at all ?

"I agree with that, but the customer is concerned about the appearance. Anyway, I received a response stating that it's already listed as a known limitation in the SR (SMB-18388)."

Thanks

I already saw an explanation that in R81.10 or later, the status in SmartConsole may appear incorrectly.
