CSR1000v in Lab

[Brian_]

Hi All,

I thought the CSR1000v was available for use so that you could use it in a lab (e.g. CCIE prep) and that there was just a limit on the amount of throughput on the instance (2Mb/s) without the license.  I work for a SP and have several contracts under my account but can't download a copy of it although various older blogs seem to boast it was "free to use".

Is anyone aware of the policies surrounding this?  Seems cisco does not allow you to download unless you purchase now.

Thanks,

Brian

This PDF has links to a download and it seems to let you download it.

If you have a quad core i7 and 12GB of RAM in your computer then consider Cisco VIRL.
