ASR1002 - licensing problem

[Michal Dobrzynski]

Hi,

I have recently purchased ASR1002-RP1-ESP5 with 2 x 4K Broadband licenses to be used as LNS. Cisco have sent me PAK files for the licenses however when I try to enter the licenses into the device I get an error message saying that Licensing is not supported on this platform.

Does anyone have any experience with this platform and installation of the broadband licenses?

When I spoke to Cisco TAC they told me that for this particular model the licensing is on "trust" basis where you buy license and do not install it on the actual router - similar to what 7200 used to do.

Thanks,

Michal

Hello Michal,

Yes, it is true. Almost all licenses are honor-based ones. There are a few exceptions but they are mainly on the ASR1001.

There is detailed information about the different licenses for ASR1K routers here:
