  • 1.  ClearPass 6.11 Platform License does not have valid Support Contract

    Posted Dec 07, 2022 10:45 AM
    Hi

    One of my customers have a test environment with C1000 hardware servers and we have successfully upgraded to 6.11.
    Under the Software Updates page we have a message stating:

    System Update/Upgrade is not allowed as Platform License does not have valid Support Contract

    As ClearPass 6.11 have a requirement of a support contract bound to the license I understand that the license for some reason isn't bound to a support contract. But we have active support contract in the ASP portal.

    What is the best way to solve this issue? The servers have Partner Branded Support, if this make any difference.

    Hi Jonas,

    Sound like you have to contact Aruba TAC Support to fix that. I think you PAK license isn't correctly bound to the support contract in the Aruba backend.

    I have just got confirmation from Aruba TAC that they have found an error in how the PAK licenses are bound to the SAID.

    And for those not familiar with these acronyms:

    PAK = Platform Activation Key, which is the license for your ClearPass Appliance. 

    SAID = Service Agreement Identification, which is the service/maintence/support contract.

    The ClearPass license and support must be in the same account and linked together. Apparently in this case there was a problem with that, and its something only support (TAC) can fix, in general. Others seeing the same message, reach out to TAC.

    There has been a 'known issue' with this, which should be resolved by now for all customers. HPE users may still see this message.

    If you still see this message but have an active support contract in the account used to sign up for updates (Administration » Agents and Software Updates » Software Updates ), please reach out to support to get it addressed.

    It's not resolved for me trying this eval license for 6.12 appliance in Azure. All I want to do is test some functionality but it's proving impossible. The Evalation license is useless without extra feature licenses that require TAC for, who can supply those extra licenses. Then when I need to destroy the VM and re-deploy, the licenses aren't able to be reused and I have to start the process all over again. Now I'm getting this error on top of that.

    Hi Brendan,

    All features are available with the evaluation license. Evaluation licenses are available for Access, Onboard, and OnGuard. If you would like to try out some extensions, you can download them in the Guest module (tested on version 6.12.3).

    Additionally, updates and certain extensions can be downloaded manually from the HPE Networking portal.

    Evaluation licenses can be created by your local Aruba Partner. They are valid for a maximum of 180 days. Please note that if you destroy and redeploy your virtual machine, reactivating these licenses requires TAC support, which is enforced for security reasons.
