ISE-VM-K9=

[derong]

HI,

My customer wants to purchase a virtualized ISE (a VM on a server), and to add into his cluster of ISE appliances. The intent is to increase workhorse power for ISE. Both physical and virtualized ISE shared the same number of end-points license.

The issue we faced is that the current ISE version is 1.1.2, which is already EOS.

Is this boq good for purchase?

Where is the version 1.1 indicated?

Hi Mun,

Thank you for reaching out.

Please work with your Cisco partner or Cisco SE. Here is the ordering guide that will give you the part numbers available

As for ISE 1.1, it is End of maintenance and no longer supported. ISE 1.1 was released long back. After that we had 5 releases after that and latest is ISE 2.1. You can find all the information related to the releases by browsing

Please see the EOL information on all ISE software and appliance by following the link below

Hi Krishnan,

Customer is planning to move to ISE 2.1

However prior to that, they would like to increase the current ISE workhorse by adding a ISE VM into the cluster. As the current ISE appliances is old and support is already End-of-Support, they want to reduce the risk of HW failure, and hence they will like to purchase quickly a ISE VM.

The ISE VM is not a migration yet, but a add-on.

Assume the boq is correct, what will be delivered to customer? A download URL link and a PAK file to activate the VM?

When purchasing an ISE VM (R-ISE-VM-K9=) you get a Right-to-Use License.  I suggest using the SKU that I used because it is an e-Delivery SKU and you should get it faster than the other SKU.  Once you have that, you can install whichever version of ISE that you want on it, you just need to already have the install media for your version.

There is no PAK to register/activate.
