Registration and Licensing Notes for CiscoWorks Common Services 2.2

---

CiscoWorks Common Services installs a 90-day unrestricted license by default. We highly recommend that you obtain and install a production license immediately.

The 90-day unrestricted license allows you to install and use your VPN/Security Management Solution (VMS) applications. This license expires after 90 days and licensed applications will no longer function.

To obtain a production license for your CiscoWorks Common Services software, register your software at one of the following websites. You will need to provide the Product Authorization Key (PAK), which is printed on a label affixed to the VMS Management and Monitoring Centers (VMMC) sub-box.

•If you are a registered user of Cisco.com, use this website:

http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/Software/FormManager/formgenerator.pl

•If you are not a registered user of Cisco.com, use this website:

http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/Software/FormManager/formgenerator.pl

The production license will be sent to the e-mail address you provided during registration. Retain this license with your CiscoWorks Common Services software records.
