License Transport Method: Smart or Call-Home

NWJ

Cisco licensing appears to be a dark art.

 

Hoping someone could enlighten me as to what is the difference between call-home and smart transport.

Recently updated Cisco 9800 controller from 16.12 --> 17.3 which changed how smart licensing works. I'm reading that it's smartreceiver.cisco.com now but also reading that it depends on whether call-home or smart is used.

Which one should I be using?

 

Thanks in advance.
