IOS XR 7.1.1 "license add" command

[seek_1992]

Hi all

I am about to install Cisco license on my ASR9006 running IOS XR 7.1.1. The license instruction states that we need to go to admin mode and then issue the license add. However the command does not exist and the only argument for license command is the smart (license smart).

I was wondering if there is a solution to this issue?

Hi @seek_1992 

Try this

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:asr9006-1#admin license add disk0:license.lic.xml sdr Owner

IOS-XR 7 is 64bit, once you move to 64bit, the traditional licenses of "license add" do not apply.

we moved to a smart licensing model.

please review

Hi tkarnani,
Does smart licensing model requires Internet connectivity. The device is under load and has no Internet connectivity.

Yes, it does.

you either have to allow the device to connect to tools.cisco.com or have a "satellite server" that is allowed to connect to the internet.

this satellite can act as an aggregate for licensing all your cisco devices that use smart licensing
