 It will keep working. You dont need to use smart licensing if you dont want. Just keep in mind that if your license expire and you do not have valid license installed, you may have problem if you need cisco support.

Hello @Mahmoud Marie 

If you don't want to use cisco smart licensing, the system will continue to function, but you may face limitations in terms of support and access to certain features. While smart licensing is primarily used for easier management and compliance tracking, not using it won't immediately affect the functionality of your devices, as long as your licenses remain valid.

However, if your licenses eventually expire and you don't have a valid license installed, you might face issues if you need to engage cisco support or access software updates, depending on your licensing model. It’s important to ensure you have valid licensing to avoid any potential disruptions, particularly when dealing with critical support needs...
