Installing and activating Performance license for ISR4431

[colossus1611]

Hi All,

Need a bit of an advice at the earliest please as I have a change in 7 hours of time to activate performance base license, but cannot find a Cisco document for ISR4400 series which would reliably suggest the steps to complete this action.

I think what I would have to do is to use the license install bootflash:<filename> command to install and then reboot the router, but I am not sure if that is all I would need.

Can someone please suggest precisely if there is a guide from Cisco that mention the steps needed or just tell me from your experience if you have done it recently?

Thanks.

Hi,

Have a look at this link on how to install it.

Thanks. Seems that one is referring to Boost Performance License. I am only trying to install the Performance License.

I found a guide earlier which talks about both of these licenses, but doesn't give steps for Performance License, however does mention steps for Boost Performance License.

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/access/4400/software/configuration/guide/isr4400swcfg/bm_isr_4400_sw_config_guide_chapter_0101.html#concept_bvv_zyx_ndb

I think the license installation procedure is the same for both.

Yes so same steps as the one for Performance Boost license worked for Performance license as well from that document I shared the URL for. Thanks for your inputs.
