Steps 

To resolve the license count mismatch issue between Cisco License On-Prem (CLP) & CLC, please follow the steps: 

If the On-Prem server is connected to the Internet, check if the server can ping Cisco Cloud using the steps below.

Step 1: Log in to the On-Prem CLI.

Step 2: Check the reachability by typing the following commands

• curl -v https://cloudsso.cisco.com

• curl -v https://swapi.cisco.com

Step 3: If you are on Proxy, check the reachability by typing the below commands

• curl -v -x <proxy server ip:proxy port num> https://cloudsso.cisco.com

• curl -v -x <proxy server ip:proxy port num> https://swapi.cisco.com

If the connection is successful, then the Cisco cloud is accessible, and if not, then there could be an issue with On-Prem connectivity.

• If Cisco Cloud is accessible, then you can perform Full Network Sync.

• If Cisco Cloud is not accessible, then you can perform a Full Manual Sync
