That's not how 6500 works.

For 6500, on both sup720 and sup2T IIRC, the feature set is determined 
by the image you boot. There's no license key for "advanced IP services" 
- you just boot that image.

To see which "feature" is installed/enabled, just look to see which 
images is booted.

The right to use the software comes from having purchased that version 
of the software with the chassis, or having purchased an upgrade later on.

As an example - most of our 6500 purchases came with a line item for:

S733ZK9M-12218SXD

...which is the Advanced IP service package, and confers the right to 
use that image (and smartnet confers the right to upgrade).
