Moving from "Advanced Enterprise" code to "Universal" code?

How does this work? 

 

Do I need Cisco to supply licensing to accommodate the features my router was using in "Advanced Enterprise"?

 

Thank you!

I'm posting this to help anybody else out that might face the same question.  I opened a case with Cisco and this was their response.

 

From the show version we can see the following:

 

License Type: EvalRightToUse

License Level: adventerprise

Next reload license Level: adventerprise

 

In older codes the licensing  system had not been defined yet. That is the case for the Advanced Enterprise code. This transition to Universal codes which do use licenses is done by generating built-in licenses for free and ready to be used since the very first moment of the upgrade. As an evidence we can see the current license level of the router, it has the same name of the previous code and also features all its benefits. We can see more details about this adventerprise license in the command show license detail:

 

Index: 5        Feature: adventerprise                     Version: 1.0

        License Type: EvalRightToUse

        License State: Active, In Use

            Evaluation total period: 8  weeks 4  days

            Evaluation period left: 7  weeks 4  days

            Period used: 6  days 21 hours

            Transition date: Dec 13 2020 06:17:00

        License Count: Non-Counted

        License Priority: Low

        Store Index: 0

        Store Name: Built-In License Storage

 

We can see it is active and in use. Also, there is no need to worry about the evaluation period since it will not affect this license when the time expires. You can also remove that evaluation period as follows:

 

  • License right-to-use move adventerprise
  • Write

 

Once done that, you can enter the command show license detail adventerprise and the evaluation period will be gone. If by any chance the changes are not reflected, please reload the device. The license will be ready to  be used with no expiration time.

 

HTH!

I have an ASR1004.

 

I have all the features that are currently available within "Advanced Enterprise" as I'm running "asr1000rp2-adventerprisek9.03.07.03.S.152-4.S3.bin".  When I move to "Universal", I thought I would have to apply some licensing to get the same features that were within my old "Advanced Services" code.  If my assumption is correct, do I just request the license from Cisco or is there another method?

 

Thanks again!

Any ideas?
