I am SO sick of Cisco and their F**king license bulls**t!
I've got an ISR4331 and I'm trying to activate the throughput eval license that came with it.
The Cisco documentation says: use the license boot level command
okay....I give..... what is the syntax of the license boot level command? Because nothing seems to work. I tried what I thought was the obvious: license boot level ipbase. That's not a valid command. The question mark is no help.
Am I the only one who remembers the good old days when you could buy a Cisco router, configure it and it frickin worked!
Solved! Go to Solution.

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

I completely understand you pain. Cisco's licensing is a nightmare.
If you already have loaded the license key on to the flash, try installing it
license install flash<name of the file>

holy crap! It worked!
The command ended up being: license right-to-use move throughput
Thanks a ton!!!

Yep great glad it worked , i hate licenses too :) had to do load of routers recently all remote 4331s ran into same issues , thats why i saved all my commands for future , id wish theyd stop changing it but now with Cisco ONE coming online its changing again but it should make things a bit easier ...maybe

hi,
did you directly apply the said command or have to accept the EULA first?
config t
license accept end user agreement
yes
exit
license right-to-use move throughput
04-18-2018 08:17 PM
04-29-2018 07:44 AM
conf t
platform hardware throughput level ?
and type your choice :)
then, reload and voila :)

When it comes to the throughput license on ISR4k we need to first configure the desired throughput level:
ISR4431(config)#platform hardware throughput level ?
1000000 throughput in kbps
500000 throughput in kbps
Then save the config and reload, in order to activate the additional CPU cores that are required for higher throughput.
By default, the EvalRTU license will convert automatically to RTU after the Evaluation period is over. By that time, the user should have obtained the required license (it's called a paper license) and therefore can continue to use the licensed features.
The "license right-to-use move" command can be used to trigger a manual/on-demand conversion from EvalRTU to RTU. The Eval period countdown timer will no longer be displayed.

Hi Michal, if the customer ignored the purchase of paper license after the eval period the feature will continue to work I presume?
