Cisco Smart Licences

[kwojtyra]

Hello,

I bought a security licences for my router. It was smart licences, what commands should I use to activate smart account in router? What commands should I use to activate the security licences?

I tried with license boot level securityk9 and reload the router.

Suite License Information for Module:'esg'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suite Suite Current Type Suite Next reboot
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FoundationSuiteK9 None Smart License None
securityk9
appxk9

Technology Package License Information:

Current Type Next reboot
------------------------------------------------------------------
appxk9 None Smart License None
uck9 None Smart License None
securityk9 securityk9 Smart License securityk9
ipbase ipbasek9 Smart License ipbasek9

The current throughput level is unthrottled

Smart Licensing Status: Registration Not Applicable/Not Applicable

the layout of your output is a bit garbled
but I see "Current Technology = Securityk9"
-> the license is preinstalled, you need not do anything

your output confirms my previous post

     Transport:
     Type: cslu
=> license usage is only reported, not retrieved
     Feature Description: securityk9
     Enforcement type: NOT ENFORCED
     License type: Perpetual
=> license is preinstalled, ==>> you need not do anything

I don't know is that Last ACK received should be with date? I see deadline date with one year. It should looks like this?

Usage Reporting:
Last ACK received: <none>
Next ACK deadline: Jul 30 06:53:30 2024 UTC

yes that is correct, but...only if either
- the switch can directly contact cisco smart licensing portal on the internet
   using the default cslu url
- or you have an on-prem smart licensing satellite (wich is reachable by the switch)
   and you have configured reachability of this sattelite by
   -- DNS resolving
   -- configured the url

use a search engine for "smart licensing using policy"  for your device
most info will be the same as for the 9200 series switch in Cisco Content Hub - Smart Licensing Using Policy

Is it some evaluation version?

[pieterh]

License type: Perpetual
license is preinstalled

=> perpetual = means no expiration date ==> NO this is not an evaluation version

Hi @kwojtyra 

Which router is it and which IOS? 

Can you share the whole output if "show license" ?
