Hi,

yes, it must be installed.

Do you have a .lic file in your file system (usually in bootflash:)?

Try typing 'show license file ?' and check what you see

to install the license

install license bootflash:///.lic

and then you check again 'show license usage'

We have nexus 7018 with 2 N7K-SUP1

In standby SUP I can see .lic file, but in active there is no .lic file.

Is something wrong ? or shall I copy standby .lic file in active SUP and install?

Hi,

Try copying the license file from the stand-by switch to the active switch and install it.
