The Cisco Smart Licensing for Video on the Cisco cBR router leverages existing Cisco cBR Smart Licensing framework that includes Call Home and SLA capabilities.
The Cisco Smart Licensing feature uses a pooled license model. All FRUs in the chassis and multiple such chassis share the entitlements for Upstream (US), Downstream (DS), WAN, Narrowcast (NC), Broadcast (BC), encrypted licenses (PME, PKY, DVB), and Replicate (RPL) as long as they do not exceed the entitlement count for that pool.
For information on entitlement usage, see the Cisco Smart Licensing.
Cisco Smart Licensing is intended to overcome the limitations and issues of the enforced licensing method. For more information, see the Cisco Smart Licensing document .
See the Cisco Smart Licensing document.
For video services, the VCG service type determines the number of licenses consumed for bound VCGs. The QAM channel shut/no shut state has no relevance for video (unlike DOCSIS services). When the service type is not defined, the NC license entitlements are consumed per QAM channel.
Use the show cable license command to verify video smart licensing configuration.
To verify all license information, use the show cable license all command:
Router# show cable license all

To view specific video license configuration, use the appropriate keyword with the show cable license command:
Router# show cable license ?
all Show all license information
ds DOCSIS downstreams
lcha LCHA groups
nc Narrowcast video
nc_dvb Narrowcast video DVB
nc_pky Narrowcast video PowerKEY
nc_pme Narrowcast video PME
nc_rpl Narrowcast video replicate
us DOCSIS upstreams
wan WAN ports
For example, to verify Narrowcast video configuration, use the show cable license nc command:
Router # show cable license nc
