Register Crosswork Network Controller with Cisco Smart Software Manager by using a product instance registration token.


Use this task when Crosswork Network Controller can communicate with Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM), CSSM On-Prem, or CSSM through an HTTP/HTTPS gateway.

Before you begin

  • Create or identify the Smart Account and Virtual Account that contain the required Crosswork licenses.

  • Generate a product instance registration token in CSSM.

  • Configure Smart Licensing transport settings in Crosswork.

Procedure

1.

Choose Administration > Smart Licenses.

2.

In the Smart Software Licensing information box, click Register.

3.

In the Smart Software Licensing Product Registration dialog box, select Register via token.

4.

In Product instance registration token, enter the registration token from CSSM.

Make sure that the token ID is accurate and within its validity period.

5.

If you are re-registering an existing product registration, select Re-register this product registration if it is already registered.

Use this option after backup restore, disaster recovery, data migration, or upgrade when the Crosswork virtual machine was already registered when the backup was taken or when licensing must be re-associated after the operation.

Note

Do not select this option for a new installation.

6.

Click Register.

When registration completes, the registration status changes to Registered and the license authorization status changes to Authorized.

Crosswork Network Controller is registered with CSSM and can report license usage through the configured transport path.
