Hi

Thank you for the answer, Regarding provided information in enclosed document:

1- For A9K-TUNNEL-ENT: Based on what is mentioned in the document this is needed for Proxy Mobile IPv6. some questions here:

a- is it required for GRE tunnels as well?  As I searched there is no mention for license in GRE configuration guide on IOS XR:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/asr9000/software/asr9k_r5-3/lxvpn/configuration/guide/b-l3vpn-cg53xasr9k/b-l3vpn-cg53xasr9k_chapter_0100.html

b- The need for PMIPv6 means if I want to user ASR9K as EPC P-Gateway then I Need to purchase the license. Right?

c - Beside of PMIPv6 which feature needs this License?

2- For A9K-LI-LIC: Is it make a router something like Firewall? Or any particular security feature is related to this license?

3- For A9K-SESSION-128K: I assume we instead of purchasing a huge number of 8K license we can buy this, Right?

4- For A9K-BNG-ADV-8K: I found this information about GEO-R:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/asr9000/software/asr9k_r6-0/bng/configuration/guide/b-bng-cg60xasr9k/b-bng-cg60xasr9k_chapter_01110.html

Does this License only provides this feature or any other feature like Service accounting(ISG) is also needs this License?

Thank you in advanced

2, The LI license enables the Lawful Intercept feature that enables lawful wiretapping of data sessions. Commonly used in BNG scenarios etc; https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/asr9000/software/asr9k_r4-1/security/configuration/guide/syssec_cg41asr9k_chapter3.pdf
3, This is the license for the PMIPv6 LMA, I believe it only comes in 128K sessions
4, From what I know the BNG-ADV license only enables the Geo-Redundancy "backup" session features for BNG sessions. Because if this you also need the regular A9K-BNG-LIC-8K licenses for your "active" sessions.
