Boost Activation ISR 4451

[cmparish5]

When I do License install bootflash:with the license name, I get a duplicate license error.  And I see the license in my flash.  So I assume the license is installed and that I just need to activate it.

But but the command license boot level Boost does not seem to work for activating the license.  Is there a different command needed to activate the eval boost license on the ISR 4451?

What is the version of code, it required IOS XE 16.07.X i guess.

From my notes :

Try command below to activate

license right-to-use .......license name

then save it , reload and check if the feature output again

to see your throughput

#show platform hardware throughput level
The current throughput level is 100000 kb/s

Detailed steps as below :

These are some of the commands i have used on my 4331s

1. config t
2. license accept end user agreement
3. yes
4. exit
5. license right-to-use move appxk9
6. license right-to-use move uck9
7. license right-to-use move securityk9
8. license right-to-use move FoundationSuiteK9
9. license right-to-use move AdvUCSuiteK9
10. license right-to-use move cme-srst
11. license right-to-use move throughput
12. config t
13. license boot level appxk9
14. license boot level uck9
15. license boot level securityk9
16. end
17. wr mem

What a tangled mess Boost has turned out to be.  So Cisco has a bug with their Boost eval license activation.  Here's the link to the bug, 

https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCvn07416/?reffering_site=dumpcr

So after several hours of working with several Cisco TAC groups, they have determined that the only way for it to work is to migrate our licensing over to their portal based Smart-net licensing.  Then routing is required to be in place for the router to reach tools.cisco.net.  As this is on my MPLS edge router, which normally would not need routes out to the internet, I will have to build routing either via dynamic or static routing from my MPLS edge router back through my lan, open a hole in the internet firewall and add natting there then from there to my internet (DIA) edge router.

Not sure it's even worth it at this point.
