Cisco 4321 SecurityK9 Licence

[paultmcd11]

Hi,

I am using IPSec on a Cisco 4321 router for an enterprise customer. I have enabled the SecurityK9 feature so is working as expected. What I am unsure of, is that the licence is set to 'RighttoUse' instead of permanent. Am I compliant in using this or do I need to purchase and install a SEC licence (SL-4320-SEC-K9=)?
Getting some conflicting answers on google. Some saying that it is a package and can use it without issue - others saying it is 'RightToUse' based on cisco's honour system whereby you need to buy the licence.

Cheers

Paul

if you do a sho license, and you see the period used counter, then it is a right to use, not permanent, and you'll need to buy a permanent license for this feature. I think typically it's 90 days, so you would see something less than 90 days remaining before the RTU expires.

No there is no counter. It is not 'EvalRightToUse', just 'RightToUse'.
