Introduction to Smart Licensing
Cisco Smart Licensing is a flexible licensing model that provides you with an easier, faster, and more consistent way to purchase and manage software across the Cisco portfolio and across your organization. And it’s secure – you control what users can access. With Smart Licensing you get:
● Easy Activation: Smart Licensing establishes a pool of software licenses that can be used across the entire organization—no more PAKs (Product Activation Keys).
● Unified Management: My Cisco Entitlements (MCE) provides a complete view into all of your Cisco products and services in an easy-to-use portal, so you always know what you have and what you are using.
● License Flexibility: Your software is not node-locked to your hardware, so you can easily use and transfer licenses as needed.
To use Smart Licensing, you must first set up a Smart Account on Cisco Software Central (software.cisco.com).
For a more detailed overview on Cisco Licensing, go to cisco.com/go/licensingguide.
Upgrading license level
Customers will be able to upgrade the network stack license and Catalyst Software Subscription or Cisco DNA subscription license levels (for example, -E to -A license upgrade). Customers will be credited for the remainder of the term. Customers will purchase the upgrade license and then reach out to CPS (Cisco Partner Services) to initiate the upgrade process, which includes the license-level upgrade and credit.
Note that a license cannot be upgraded at the time of purchase.
Things to know:
● Smart License enabled refers to Cisco offers that have Smart Software Licensing capabilities.
● Smart Account assignments at the time of order are mandatory. Customers benefit from Smart Software Licensing capabilities across their entire Cisco Smart Software License-enabled installed base all appearing in a central location: their Smart Account.
● Cisco Smart Software Manager (SSM) will enable the management of Cisco catalyst 9500 Series switch software licenses.
● Smart License consumption visibility will only be available when the switch supports the Smart Licensing technology via the Entitlement Portal.
A Smart Account is a central data repository that provides visibility and access control to all of Cisco software licenses and entitlements across an organization. Smart Accounts allow you to store, manage, and move assets from one place to another and begin to use them immediately. Smart Accounts are crucial to helping enable Cisco Smart Software Licensing. With Smart Software Licensing, capabilities extend across an entire organization:
● Operations Exchange site featuring Smart Account overviews and training sessions; navigate to the Smart Account Resources panel on the page
After a Smart Account has been set up, customers have the flexibility to create subaccounts (virtual accounts) to help manage licenses for departments, areas, or locations within their organization. Licenses can be pooled within virtual accounts as needed. Smart Accounts have role-based user access controls, which allow the delegation of authority to account administrators at the Smart Account level or at the virtual account level. In addition, customers can manage partner visibility and management rights to your virtual or enterprise-level accounts.
To learn how to create Smart Accounts, visit https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/buy/smart-accounts.html.
Smart Licensing is a cloud-based license management platform built to simplify the purchase, deployment, and management of Cisco software assets. Entitlements are immediately deposited into a customer’s virtual account for use. This eliminates the need to install license files on every device. Products that are Smart License enabled communicate to Cisco to report consumption. The primary location for managing product registration and monitoring Smart License (SL) consumption is the Cisco Smart Software Manager. License ownership and consumption are readily available to help customers make better purchase decisions based on consumption or other business needs.
Cisco Smart Software Manager
Cisco Smart Software Manager enables the management of software licenses. The interface allows customers to activate their product, manage entitlements, and renew and upgrade software. An active Smart Account is required to complete the Smart License registration process.
To learn more about end-to-end Smart Account and Smart License management, visit https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/buy/smart-accounts/software-manager.html.
Smart Accounts and Smart Licensing availability
Important information about Smart Account and Smart License availability
● C9500 and C9500X PIDs are smart PIDs, but the switch will operate in RTU mode by default. License entitlements will be deposited in the Cisco Smart Software Manager and the Smart Account. In addition to viewing entitlements, customers will be able to track consumption.
● Smart Accounts are mandatory. If a customer does not have a Smart Account set up prior to the purchase, a new Smart Account must be created at the time of purchase.
Deploying smart licenses for Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series switches
Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series switches come in different licensing packages in comparison to existing Cisco Catalyst platforms. The ordering process will include a requirement to establish a Smart Account where software licenses will be deposited. Smart Licenses are transferable between the same type of devices (for example, from C9500 to C9500 switches). (See Figure 2.)
Smart licensing model
In the deployment model in Figure 2, the Smart Account Cisco back end and Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series switches do not have a communication channel to report usage and consumption. They operate as separate entities. The switches must be configured in RTU mode with correct license level to enable the purchased feature set:
● Consumption reporting: License usage and consumption are performed on Cisco Smart Software Manager only when the device has capability to report Smart License usage.
For further references about the Cisco Catalyst 9000 RTU licensing model, refer to the Configuration Guide.
Software-Defined Access (SD-Access)
Software-Defined Access (SD-Access) enables policy-based automation from edge to cloud with foundational capabilities using controller-based architecture, including design with validated design templates, simplified device deployment, unified management of wired and wireless, network virtualization with segmentation, group-based policies, and contextual-based analytics.
SD-Access can be enabled via individual Cisco DNA Advantage.
The Solution Support service option is strongly recommended; it provides coverage for a Cisco DNA Essentials and Advantage software licenses. Additional product-level hardware support options are available: Smart Net Total Care (SNTC) support, partner service support (PSS), and enhanced limited lifetime hardware warranty. It is strongly recommended that the term of the hardware support contract match the software subscription license term to avoid any service support gaps for the duration of the term.
With a Catalyst Software Subscription, base product-level hardware and software support is included.
How does the base product-level support for software and hardware included in the Catalyst Switch software subscription differ from Cisco Smart Net Total Care (SNTC) and Software Support Services (SWSS)?
The base product-level support for software and hardware support included in the Catalyst Switch software subscription delivers the same features and benefits you experience today with Smart Net Total Care and Software Support Basic except as follows:
● The Cisco TAC response objective for severity 1 and 2 service requests is:
◦ Four hours, compared to one hour for Smart Net Total Care and Software Support Basic), and
◦ Next Business Day (NBD) where commercially available for severity 3 and 4 service requests, compared to one hour for Smart Net Total Care during business hours and next business day outside of business hours, and next business day for Software Support Basic during and outside of business hours).
● Hardware replacements are accessed through the Catalyst warranty program1, compared to a choice of eight RMA service-level options offered through Smart Net Total Care and Software Support Basic.
What are my support service options if I need faster response objectives for critical issues, more hardware RMA options, and/or higher levels of support than what’s included in the Catalyst Switch software subscription?
