Cisco Licensing

My question is this:
I have a 2811 router with the IOS feature set IP Base installed. I need to upgrade to the Advanced IP Services feature set in order to build the configuration I need. The router is under a Smartnet contract.
Do I need to purchase an upgrade license or can I just download the software and install it for free?
Thanks

Most SMARTNETS allow for software downloads, but you need to make sure that your contract allows for different feature sets. Send me a private email with your contract number and I will verify it for you.
Thanks,

Regarding the Cisco license key

Hi
We just purchased new 3750X and got the Cisco license key from the vendor, is there anything I need to do with this Cisco license key? Like software activation?
Thanks

Go here: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-3560-x-series-switches/white_paper_c11-579326.html
Scroll down to the section "Software Activation License How-Tos".
Hope this helps.

Cisco Licensing Query

Hi Ferdinand,
Thanks for your offer of help, it's much appreciated.
The devices themselves are managed by a 3rd party, so I've requested this information and will come back to you ASAP.
Thanks,
David.

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can advise on some Cisco licensing/support woes we've been having.
We've recently moved from a manged service to managing the license/support renewals ourselves.
Without having any contract numbers available, is there a way to check the device serial numbers to see their current support status?
I've tried various avenues with Cisco support but haven't managed to get anywhere so far.
Thanks in advance,
David.

In reviewing the Cisco Licensing Guide, there is a license part number for MPLS on the Nexus 7010. Part Number is N7K-MPLS1K9.

In reviewing the Cisco Licensing Guide, there is a license part number for MPLS on the Nexus 7010. Part Number is N7K-MPLS1K9. Is there a corresponding part number for the Nexus 7710?

For the benefit of others, here is what we found. The N7K was hitting the bug CSCtg95381.
Symptom
Nexus 7000 may punt traffic to CPU; so that the traffic may experience random delay or drop.
Further looking, ARP is learned and FIB adjacency is in FIB adjacency table.
Conditions
The problem is caused by race condition. Some hosts have not responded to the ARP refresh sent by
N7k which in turn trigger to delete ARP entry due to expiry. As a result the route delete notification is
sent to URIB from the process. However there is still traffic coming to given IP address as a result the next packet that hit glean resulting in triggering ARP and hope ARP is learnt from the host this time.
Workaround
(s):
Clear ip route < host>.
Not totally explains why it was working for certain client-server combination but yet the workaround is holding well for end-points when implemented.
There would be no host route for the destination server in the adjacency manager on N7K-01. The only thing thats there is the subnet route pointing towards the vlan gateway address. Implementing the work-around, a new /32 route can now be seen in the adjacency manager for the server.
The bug is fixed in releases starting 5.1(5). Planning to upgrade to 5.2(3a).

How can I get ACE demo license in cisco?

Hi everyone,
I would like to get ACE demo license..
minimum 50VC and 16G bandwidth to demo on my customer site.
But I can't find the demo license in cisco
Now I use the cisco ACE demo, I can't open service request to get license , due to demo device,
Thank you

HI,
To get the ACE demo licenses, contact your Cisco account representative.
As per my knowledge there is no link where you can download the demo license. Or the other way is to contact the cisco licensing team providing your device data.

Inayath.

Cisco Enterprise License Manager

Is Cisco Enterprise License Manager the samething as Cisco License Manager? I just want to make sure I am downloading the correct thing to work with CUCM 9.0. This is the only thing I was able to find in the Support downloads when logged in with my CCO:
Cisco License Manager 3.2.3 Client and Server Package (Windows)

And thus, same HW requirements as CUCM if you want to do a standalone install.
Otherwise, just use the one that will get installed with CUCM or CUC.

Problem with implementing license in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2

Goodday,
For Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 I downloaded an license from the license portal.
This concerns a eval/demo license, for an demo of Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2.
When selecting the the type of license you get a few options, from which I selected the basic, advanced and lifecycle evaluation licenses. This is the type of license that is required for our demo.
After completing the wizard I can download en implement the license.
Until this point everything goes as it supposed to be.
When i go to the Prime Infrastructure 2.2 appliance (running on VMWare ESXi 5.5.0).
When I go to the license section in Cisco Prime Infrastructure I can implement the license, however if I implement the .lic file I get the error “Unknown feature (PI_VM)”.
I have done implementing license files before, but this is the first time i encounterd this problem.
Who can help me with this error?
Regards,
Dennie Verhoeven

Hi Dennie,
PI2X-BASE-LF-AS-US-VM-N-EVAL-90   >> I think you have used this product name while generating the license
Either you try generating a new license or contact cisco license team to generate a new license
with the information like below ::
Product Name                : R-PI2X-K9
    Product Description         : R-PI2X-K9:R-PI2X-K9 : Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.x
    Product Qty                 : 1
    UDI                        : PID: PRIME-NCS-VAPL SN: ANY:ANY
Serial no : with ANY:ANY will work as starting from PI 2.2 , there is no node locking with license.
Thanks-

The original generation 3560/3750 series have "paper" licenses. You can either order them, originally, with the advanced license, the "-E" suffix, or you can order them with the base license, the "-S" suffix, and later, if desired, "upgrade" them by purchasing a paper license.
Technically, the device has no license management, so it will run either the base or advanced IOS; whatever is installed.
As the original generation devices are EoS, I don't believe advanced "paper" licenses are still available. If not, would be unable to legally run an advanced IOS image on a device that doesn't already have the advanced license.

LICENSE KEY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Attached to this email you will find a file with the ".lic" extension. This is the file that will activate the IOS Feature Set that you purchased for your router. Do not edit the contents of the .lic file in any way or you will render the file useless.
Installing your Cisco IOS Software Activation License
This license can be installed using the IOS command line interface (CLI) or the Cisco License Manager. Instructions for using the CLI are included below. For details on downloading or using the Cisco License Manager, please go to http://www.cisco.com/go/clm.
Please note the Unique Device Identifier (UDI) for this license. This license can only be installed on the router that has this matching UDI.
License Installation Using the CLI
First copy this license to the router's flash memory using the copy command and a TFTP server.
Example:
881GW-demo#copy tftp flash
Address or name of remote host [192.168.1.3]?
Source filename []? 881GW-adv-IP.lic

you need new license file from Cisco for advipservices (Cisco 897VA comes with advipservices by default)
send the below details to Cisco licensing team and request for new licese file
Router#show license udi
Once you have the new lic file from Cisco - copy it to router flash and type below command to active it
Router#license install flash:.lic
Installing licenses from "flash:.lic"

once done - reload the router.

Cisco Anyconnect Essentials License - what does this

Hello Communtiy.
I have successfully installed an ASA with Anyconnect. The Anyconnect client on my laptop works great.
But why should i now buy an Cisco Anyconnect Essentials License, for what exact is that license ?
Anyconnect works great without that license.
But i cant connnect with my IPhone with the Cisco Anyconnect for Iphone app. Should i buy the Anyconnect for Mobile license, and is this license just for one device or for all devices. Because that license is really cheap. Normaly Cisco licenses are expensiv.
Thanks and kind regards patrick

If you don't have any AnyConnect Premium licenses, then you are restricted to two simultanious connections if you don't have the anyConnect Essentials license. And you are right, for i-devices (and Android and ...) you need the AnyConnect Mobile license.
Both AnyConnect Essentials and AnyConnect Mobile are licensed per ASA and not per concurrent user/connection. And AnyConnect Mobile needs an AnyConnect Essential or an AnyConnect Preimium License to be activated.
