Session Use and Feature Use Licenses

Session use and feature use licenses are software mechanisms used to provide session limit controls and enable special features within the system. These electronic licenses are stored in the system's configuration file that is loaded as part of the system software each time the system is powered on or restarted.

Session Use Licenses

Session use licenses limit the number of concurrent sessions that a system is capable of supporting per service type and are acquired on an as needed basis. This allows carriers to pay only for what they are using and easily increase capacity as their subscriber base grows. Session use licenses are available for the following services:

  • Access Service Network Gateway (ASN GW) (Includes FA, DHCP, Proxy MIP and RADIUS AAA Server Groups)
  • Enhanced Charging Service (ECS): Enhanced Charging Bundle 1 1k Sessions Enhanced Charging Bundle 2 1k Sessions (Includes Diameter and DCCA functionality with ECS)
  • EV-DO Rev A PDSN (Includes FA, RADIUS AAA Server Groups, and PDSN RAN Optimization, Bundle 1)
  • EV-DO Rev A / PDSN [UPGRADE] 1k Sessions or 10k Sessions (UPGRADE: Will convert PDSN into EV-DO Rev A / PDSN)
  • Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) (Includes RADIUS AAA Server Groups)
  • HA license for GGSN (Includes RADIUS AAA Server Groups and MIP NAT Traversal)
  • Home Agent (HA) (Includes RADIUS AAA Server Groups)
  • HRPD Serving Gateway (HSGW) (Includes Dynamic Policy Interface, Session Recovery, IPv6, Intelligent Traffic Control, and Enhanced Charging Bundle 2)
  • IP Services Gateway
  • L2TP Network Server (LNS)
  • Mobility Management Entity (MME) (Includes Session Recovery, and Enhanced Lawful Intercept)
  • Packet Data Service Node (PDSN) (Includes RADIUS AAA Server Groups)
  • PDN Gateway (P-GW) (Includes Dynamic Policy Interface, Lawful Intercept, Session Recovery, RADIUS AAA Server Groups, IPv6, Intelligent Traffic Control, and Enhanced Charging Bundle 2)
  • PDIF-Service (Includes IPSec, FA, and RADIUS AAA Server Groups)
  • SCM (Proxy/Registrar IETF RFC3261, Proxy P-CSCF, Serving S-CSCF, Interrogating I-CSCF, and A-SBC SW License)
  • Serving Gateway (S-GW) (Includes Dynamic Policy Interface, Lawful Intercept, Session Recovery, Proxy MIP, and IPv6)

Each license is associated with both SPC/SMC cards in a redundant SPC configuration ensuring correct support for the system in case of an SPC/SMC failover. This license is unique to each system and its respective SPC/SMC-based CompactFlash cards. Session use licenses can be upgraded remotely to increase system session capacity as new PAC/PSC cards are added.

IMPORTANT:

In the event that an SPC/SMC requires replacement, you will need to remove the CompactFlash card from the SPC/SMC being replaced and install it onto the replacement SPC/SMC. Failure to exchange the CompactFlash card on the SPC/SMC will cause the session license to not match both SPCs/SMCs. The system will recognize that one of the SPCs match, and the session use license for the system would still be valid. However, unmatched keys would result in a loss of redundancy for all license-enabled session use and features should the remaining SPC/SMC that possesses the correctly matched license fail.

Default Licenses

If a system boots with no license key installed, or an invalid license key is specified in the configuration file, a set of default limited session use and feature licenses is installed. The following Exec Mode command lists the license information;

The following shows the license information for a system with no license key installed. Notice that the session use licenses for PDSN, HA, GGSN, and L2TP LNS are limited to 10,000 sessions.
