Is there any reference documentation/matrix available that shows the first IOS-XE release that enforces smart licensing as the only form of licensing for a particular switch/router/etc.?
Ideally, I would lookup a certain router/switch model in a chart and find the first IOS-XE release that enforces smart licensing. Currently, I'm searching through multiple release notes for different IOS-XE versions across different router/switch models (Cat3850/3650, Cat4500, ISR4000, ASR1000, etc.) to see if smart licensing is enforced.
The reason I'm asking is because we are in the process of upgrading our switches and the newer "suggested" code enforces smart licensing. The problems is that if the licensing is not converted to smart licensing and/or the switch can not call home to the smart licensing portal, the classics licenses get switched to evals. On top of that, we need to build in more configuration and verification steps in our SOPs.
Any help is appreciated!
