I've got problems installing advipservices license. Following the instructions, given in a manual I installed the licence. The system showed no error messages and everything was smooth. But the guide sais that after installing the license with upper level of precedence, the system will start to use it after next reboot. This can be verified via "show ver". But "show ver" displayed "Next reload license Level: ipservices" - not the installed one. But "show license" displays:
Index 1 Feature: advipservices
Period left: Life time
License Type: Permanent
License State: Active, Not in Use
License Priority: Medium
License Count: Non-Counted
Index 2 Feature: ipservices
Period left: Life time
License Type: Permanent
License State: Active, In Use
License Priority: Medium
License Count: Non-Counted
Index 3 Feature: ipbase
Period left: 0 minute 0 second
I tried to activate the license manually with:
# conf t
# license boot level advipservises
with no result, since it doesn't even show this oprion among possible:
vf1a-4(config)#license boot level ?
ipbase ipbase level
ipservices ipservices level
vf1a-4(config)#license boot level advipservices
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
Rebooting the switch doesn't help - the license level stays ipservices instead of advipservices
Did anyone have similar issue? Thank you in advance.

Apprently, advipservices is not supported on the 12.2(50)SE and the document below said IPServices has the same features. Please see the following link for more info.

Thanks,
I actually managed to make the switch accept it. But in a strange way. Now the output of "show license" is like:
vf1a-3#show license
Index 1 Feature: advipservices
Period left: Life time
License Type: Permanent
License State: Active, In Use
License Priority: Medium
License Count: Non-Counted
Index 2 Feature: ipservices
Period left: 8 weeks 4 days
License Type: Evaluation
License State: Active, Not in Use, EULA accepted
License Priority: Low
License Count: Non-Counted
Index 3 Feature: ipbase
Period left: 0 minute 0 second
but the output of "show ver" is still like that:
License Level: ipservices
License Type: Permanent
Next reload license Level: ipservices

I seem to have an almost identical problem getting advipservices enabled on a 3560E after apparently successfully installing the license upgrade, how did you manage to persuade the switch to enable advipservices eventually ?
I have also tried upgrading the switch to 12.2(53)SE2 but this hasn't changed things, here is the current license status -
drtesta#sh license
Index 1 Feature: advipservices
Period left: Life time
License Type: Permanent
License State: Active, Not in Use
License Priority: Medium
License Count: Non-Counted
Index 2 Feature: ipservices
Period left: Life time
License Type: Permanent
License State: Active, In Use
License Priority: Medium
License Count: Non-Counted
Index 3 Feature: ipbase
Period left: 0 minute 0 second
drtesta#sh license feature
Feature name Enforcement Evaluation Clear Allowed Enabled
advipservices yes no yes no
ipservices yes yes yes yes
ipbase no no yes no

Have you tried to look through the links in jeye's post? Advipservices is end of life and they claim to support the same feature sets with either ipservices or advipservices licenses beginning with 12.2(50)SE. I needed to add a new member to a stack, which had advipservices licence installed before end of life announcement. The working stack could not be rebooted, and we didn't want to risk merging them with different licenses installed. I assume that the advipservices is already installed on your switch accordin to the guide. After the sequence of following actions the switch accepted the license (I can't quaranty that all of these steps are needed):
vf1a-3#clear license agent sessions
vf1a-3#clear license agent counters
vf1a-3(config)#no license boot level ipservices
vf1a-3#cop run start
vf1a-3#reload

Thanks for the quick reply, I was in fact trying to enable IPv6 support on the 3560E switch and wrongly assumed that the lack of IPv6 commands was due to advipservices not being enabled. Having looked at the articles it seems that all features are now included in ipservices and I eventually discovered that what I actually needed to do was use the following command -
sdm prefer dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 default
which changes the switch to run in dual IPv4 / IPv6 mode.
I installed the license upgrade when we first got the switches about 18 months ago and was sure that advipservices had been enabled at the time so it looks like the upgrade to 12.2(50)SE probably caused the switch to revert to ipservices - hence the confusion.
