Hello, friends!
I am confused about Cisco license.
What does it mean: License: RightToUse , State: Active, In Use?
More detail about the question:
I faced licensing for the first time.
For example, I have ipbasek9 and securityk9 licenses.
ipbasek9
Period left: Life time
License Type: Permanent
License State: Active, In Use
securityk9:
Period left: Life time
License Type: RightToUse
License State: Active, In Use
On Cisco I found this: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3650/software/release/3e/consolidated_guide/configuration_guide/b_consolidated_3650_3se_cg/b_consolidated_3650_3se_cg_chapter_01011011.pdf
Active, Not In Use – «EULA was accepted and the switch is ready to use when the license is enabled.»
Do I have to reboot my device to activate the securityk9 functionality?
As I see, ipbasek9 also have state: «Active, In Use». The router is working and do routing.
Does this functional also work not correct without reboot?
I read that:
"Right to Use Feature Licenses
These licenses follow the traditional licensing model and do not use Cisco Software Activation. They can be ordered when the router is initially purchased or at a later date. A Right to Use license scheme is an honor-based model for licensing. Licenses are not tied to an unique device identifier (UDI), product ID, or serial number."
"
- A Right to Use license scheme is an honor-based licensing model (doesn't mean FREE).
- Licenses are not tied to an unique device identifier (UDI), product ID, or serial number."
As I understand, RightToUse is paid. And if it has «Evaluation» word - it has an expiration date of and it is free.
Please help.
Thank you.
