Problem with Smart Account with Tokens

[dit.petroretail]

Good afternoon! After February 1, routers stopped connecting to the smart account, giving an error Fail to send out Call Home HTTP message. There is access to port 443, there is also a connection. Smart Account Server is dropping the connection. What could be the reason?

Hi

Cisco now uses another Root Certificate for Smart Licensing

You need import the new root certificat

<SWITCH>#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
<SWITCH>(config)#crypto pki trustpool import terminal
% Enter PEM-formatted CA certificate.
% End with a blank line or "quit" on a line by itself.

Check the output to the following commands: 

sh crypto pki trustpool | include cn=

If the first two lines are "QuoVadis Root CA" then this FN - 72323 - Cisco IOS XE Software: QuoVadis Root CA 2 Decommission Might Affect Smart Licensing, Smart Call Home, and Other Functionality.

Just note that this QuoVadis Root certificate does not just impact IOS-XE but anything-and-everything that talks Cisco Smart License, like CUCM, Firewall, ISE, routers, switches, 9800 controllers, etc.
