There is a known issue that you can find in the release notes, 1102426. As a workaround you have to license the VM before trying to build the HA cluster. Having only the Base license will not let you reach the HA configuration page. Issue is going to be fixed in 7.6.3.

Hi @ebilcari 

thank you for your reply. that true no HA in Base license. I add the PRO license to remediate but still have issue with the secondary when I want to see license in License Management the Primary have PRO and the secondary have only Base license

The get system license -check command in promary and secondary return :

in Primary :

EFFECTIVE:
system_mac = 50:XXXXXXX:EA
system_uuid = XXXXXXX
valid_mac_uuid = true
serial = FNVXCATMXXXXXXXXX4
type = NetworkControlApplicationServer
level = PRO
count = 200
expiration = 0 days
expired = false
mac = 50:XXXXXX
uuid = XXXXXX
certificates = [XXXXXXXX]

in secondary:

EFFECTIVE:
system_mac = 50:........
system_uuid = XXXXXXX
valid_mac_uuid = true
serial = FNVXCATMXXXXXXX5
type = NetworkControlApplicationServer
level = PRO
count = 200
expiration = 0 days
expired = false
mac = 50:........:B4
uuid = XXXX
certificates = [XXXXXX]

The same license from the primary node cannot be used directly on the secondary node. Instead, the license will be copied during the HA build procedure. The HA configuration should only be set up in the GUI of the primary node. Having only a Base license on the secondary node while the HA cluster is being built should not cause any issues.

Edit: I see that the license is valid for both nodes and their respective MAC/UUID (if they are different for each VM) so the licensing is OK as long as it is shown as valid from CLI. The GUI had some similar issues in the past.
