You can run license right-to-use activate ip-services all accepteula to activate ipservices, and then restart the switch.

1. Cisco 3850-Static routing with LAN Base license? I’d like to throw in a stack as a core switch in a new office and use static routing to reach our main office. From my googling it looks like static routing is not crippled in the LAN base version I just thought I’d ask before ordering, haven’t used these switches before.

2. RTU License 3850 IP Base to IP service. I want to upgrade form IP Base to IP Service to use EIGRP. I order the license L-3850-48-S-E but i read the documentation about the procedure to install the license but all documentation says “A permanent license can be moved from one device to another. To activate a license, you must reboot your switch” “Your switch is pre-installed with the image that you ordered. If an image was not pre-ordered, then the switch is booted with a LAN base image by default.” When cisco send the license i only need to use “license right-to-use activate ipservices acceptEULA” after that reload the switch and that its or i need to upload anything like .pkg or .lic or another image to work the new license??
