## Symptoms

- A new Security Group Member remains in the "DOWN" state after you add it to an existing Security Group in the VSX mode while Image Cloning is enabled.

## Cause

A license is missing from the context of at least one Virtual System.

To check if the issue applies to your Security Group:

1. Connect to the command line on the new Security Group Member.

2. If your default shell is Gaia gClish, then log in to the Expert mode:

   `expert`
3. Check if there is a Virtual System that does **not** have a license installed (run this long command and carefully examine the output):

   `for VSID in $(vsx stat -l | grep 'VSID:' | awk '{print $2}') ; do vsenv $VSID; cplic print ; echo '' ; done`
