Managing Licenses with the Ops Views Feature

When the ops views feature is enabled on the server, the system displays a Cisco Ops View entry under the Configured License area in the Administration Console License window, along with the word “Licensed” to indicate that the ops views functionality has been enabled. (When ops views is not enabled, this entry displays “Not Licensed.”)

Note When ops views is not enabled, Cisco IPICS displays the number of available licenses and concurrent usage information in the License browser window, which does not reflect real-time data. The data that displays in this window shows the usage at the time that the license window was last accessed. To view the most current license information, make sure that you refresh your browser window often.

Tracking Your License Consumption

Cisco IPICS uses the following criteria to determine license consumption for ports and PMC usage:

•Cisco IPICS Ports Usage—A configured channel or activated VTG consumes a port license. After the channel is deleted or the VTG is deactivated, the server releases the license and makes it available for use.

Cisco IPICS bases license usage for ports on the unique combination of a multicast address and a location; that is, if a channel has two multicast addresses that are assigned to the channel, two licenses are used. If one of the multicast addresses is removed, the system releases one of the licenses so that the port now consumes one license.

Note Be aware that an inactive VTG (VTG template) consumes a license when a policy triggers (activates) that VTG. Therefore, if the number of licenses has been exceeded, the policy will not be able to activate the VTG. Make sure that the server has a sufficient number of licenses available for the configuration of policies.

•Cisco IPICS PMC Usage—A PMC user consumes a license each time that the user logs in to a PMC session.
