Cisco ASR 1001-x

[Mohammad Abu Helal]

Hello,

We would like to understand the license policy for ASR1001-X 

The current system has IOS Cupertino  Version 17.9.4a

We have activated two 10G ports, CGNAT, Adventerprise, we didn't get any warning or any expiration day for license usage 

who can explain that to us? is there any expiration day for those features? or any enforcement?

@Mohammad Abu Helal according to the capture. your licenses listed are perpetual which dont have expiry date. 

[Mohammad Abu Helal]

in the previous IOS version, we got warnings and expiration days for those features how do you explain now that they are Perpetual?

the most important question here is what will be happening in a few months? Does it limit us or cause service interruption?

[Kasun Bandara]

@Mohammad Abu Helal your capture shows License type: Perpetual

[pieterh]

Cisco's intention for the newest licensing process is to keep your network up-and-running even if licenses expire
in the software.cisco.com license overview you may still see the license expiration date 
the licensing portal may send you messages about expiring licenses 
but the device itself will at most complain in the logging, and remain operational

Hi @pieterh 
thank you for your answer, as I have mentioned in the post this device was in use and we use it as a secondhand 

the devices come with old IOS and we did upgrade to the latest version 

we don't want to have it in a production environment and later on the device will break off because of license enforcement
