hi,
i got a cisco 4K router with IOS-XE 17.3 and have voice and sec K9 license bundled.
we still use "smart" transport and don't use "CSLU" transport method in our smart license.
my question is, is the smart license via CSLU mandatory? i can see the smart licensing status is "registration not applicable".
does this mean the smart license currently installed are "perpetual" and features will function normally without registering to smart license server?
what if i "downgrade" to 16.12 so we can use the "smart" transport we normally use in our IOS-XE routers. will it retain the current smart licenses?
