The C3560X-24-S-E= license is designed exclusively for 24-port Catalyst 3560-X models (WS-C3560X-24-S and WS-C3560X-24T-S).
What new features are enabled by the IP Services license?

How do I install the Cisco Catalyst 3560-X IP Base to IP Services license?
Download the license key file via TFTP or USB, run `license install <filename>`, save the configuration, and reload the switch to activate IP Services.
Is the C3560X-24-S-E= license perpetual or subscription-based?
The C3560X-24-S-E= is a perpetual license with no recurring fees; it remains valid for the life of the hardware.

No. Each C3560X-24-S-E= license is bound to a single switch and cannot be transferred to other devices.
Do I need to reload the switch after installing the license?
Yes. A reload is required to enable the IP Services feature set after license installation.
How can I verify that the IP Services license is active?
Run the CLI command `show license feature`; active IP Services features will be listed under the feature-enabled section.
What prerequisites are required for upgrading to IP Services?

Will upgrading to IP Services affect my existing switch configuration?
No. Upgrading to IP Services does not modify current configurations; it only unlocks additional routing and security features.
Can I revert from IP Services back to IP Base?
No. Once the IP Services license is installed, it is permanent and Cisco does not support downgrading to IP Base.
What should I do if I lose my license documentation?
Contact your Cisco reseller or Cisco TAC with your switch serial number to obtain a replacement license key.
