Smart Software Licensing
Smart Licensing is a cloud-based approach to licensing that simplifies the purchase, deployment, and management of Cisco software assets. Entitlements are purchased through your Cisco account via Cisco Commerce Workspace (CCW) and immediately deposited into your Virtual Account for usage. This eliminates the need to install license files on every device. Products that are smart enabled communicate directly to Cisco to report consumption. Cisco Software Central (CSC) is a single location which is available to customers to manage Cisco software licenses. License ownership and consumption are readily available to help make better purchase decision based on consumption or business need.
