1921 Security K9 License question

Hello,

I recently acquired a recycled 1921 that I was planning on using for home/study purposes. I was hoping to be able to configure a ipsec VPN tunnel between a few other routers I have, but I seem to have run into an issue with licensing. I was under the impression that the 1921 has 60 evaluation licenses for securityk9 and datak9, then after the 60 days, it turns into a RightToUse license and the features would continue to work, but it won't be in compliance with Cisco licensing. When I do a "show license all", I get the following:

 

License Store: Primary License Storage

StoreIndex: 0   Feature: ipbasek9                          Version: 1.0

        License Type: Permanent

        License State: Active, In Use

        License Count: Non-Counted

        License Priority: Medium

License Store: Evaluation License Storage

StoreIndex: 0   Feature: securityk9                        Version: 1.0

        License Type: Evaluation

        License State: Active, Not in Use, EULA accepted

            Evaluation total period: 8  weeks 4  days

            Evaluation period left: 0  minute  0  second 

        License Count: Non-Counted

        License Priority: Low

StoreIndex: 1   Feature: datak9                            Version: 1.0

        License Type: Evaluation

        License State: Active, Not in Use, EULA accepted

            Evaluation total period: 8  weeks 4  days

            Evaluation period left: 0  minute  0  second 

        License Count: Non-Counted

        License Priority: Low

StoreIndex: 2   Feature: SSL_VPN                           Version: 1.0

        License Type: Evaluation

        License State: Active, Not in Use, EULA not accepted

            Evaluation total period: 8  weeks 4  days

            Evaluation period left: 8  weeks 4  days

        License Count: 75/0/0  (Active/In-use/Violation)

        License Priority: None

 

Do I have an incorrect understanding of Cisco licensing, or just an incorrect understanding of how to active them? Also, is there any way to make this work with ipsec VPN without purchasing an additional licensing? Thanks!

Hi can you do this command:

#show license feature     -Tabulated view
#show version                -Firmware version


Note that you at least need an Advanced Security Firmware at minimum, if not, even if you ahve the license, you just cant

Also once the trial has ended, the feature stops working when you reload it
So once the trial ends, make sure your device never encounters a reboot/power down XD

and nope, there is no way to activate IPSec for free (Cisco would go out of business if you can do that hahahaha)
