How to renew licesne of CSR1000v

[kay.kang]

Hi,

I am planning to renew license of CSR1000v.

As far as I checked, there are basically two options to renew or activate license(Cisco Sortware Licensing and Cisco Smart Licensing).

Does each option require rebooting device when active license?

Below snapshot is about license info collected from the CSR1000v router.

Can you please also share the commands or documents that shows how to activate the license with each option?

Hi Kasun,

It's PAK file based license.

Can you share commands to active them using CLI after getting installable license key?
