Cisco ASR1000 - upgrade IOS with Eval features

[lawaris]

Hello Team, I have ASR1000 in my production environment and it requires IOS upgrade. I have a question related to the IPSEC license, I am not sure whether it is an evaluation or permanent.
Also if the license feature is Eval will the eval feature continue to work when I upgrade the IOS?

Hi

IPSEC license is in RTU which means, even if you have to purchase some licenses (if you didn't do so), the router doesn't need the lic file.
This means, even if you upgrade, unless specific issues, it will come up after the upgrade.
