Migrate ASR1K Permanent License to Smart License

[johnlloyd_13]

hi,

i got an ASR1K that i would upgrade IOS-XE (and ROMMON) from 16.9 to 17.3 to support smart license.

after the code upgrade and necessary config for call home, do i only issue this command/macro to convert its current advance enterprise license to smart license?

ASR1K#license smart conversion start

will this automatically "add" the permanent license to smart license cloud?

will the license authorization take effect immediately or do i need to wait a few hours?

seems cisco documentation is scarce. does anyone have a good link or cisco live doc?

ASR1K#sh license all
License Store: Primary License Storage
StoreIndex: 0 Feature: adventerprise Version: 1.0
License Type: Permanent
License State: Active, In Use
License Count: Non-Counted
License Priority: Medium

hi balaji,

i got an on-prem CSSM server and need to know which one should i configure in my ASR1K after upgrading to 17.3.2?

per the doc/link you gave, do i use the "smart" config/approach?

have you personally tried registering an IOS-XE 17.3 device to smart license?

ip name-server 10.8.8.9

ip domain lookup

ip domain-lookup source-interface Loopback0

ntp server 10.8.8.9

ip http client source-interface Loopback0

license smart transport smart

license smart url https://<MY ON-PREM FQDN>/Transportgateway/services/DeviceRequestHandler

#license smart register idtoken <ON-PREM CSSM TOKEN>

or do i configure "call-home" approach?

ip http client source-interface Loopback0
license smart transport callhome

license smart url https://<MY ON-PREM FQDN>/Transportgateway/services/DeviceRequestHandler

call-home
 no profile CiscoTAC-1
 profile <ON-PREM PROFILE>
 source-interface Loopback0

#license smart register idtoken <ON-PREM CSSM TOKEN>
