This guide provides an overview and guidance for configuring the Cisco® ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers with Right-To-Use License (RTU).
The following table provides release information about the feature or features described in this module. This table lists only the software release that introduced support for a given feature in a given software release train. Unless noted otherwise, subsequent releases of that software release train also support that feature.
Use Cisco Feature Navigator to find information about platform support and Cisco software image support. To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to www.cisco.com/go/cfn. An account on Cisco.com is not required.The Cisco licensing mechanism provides flexibility to run a device at different technology package levels. This mechanism is referred to as technology package licensing and leverages the universal technology package based licensing solution. A universal image containing all levels of a software package is loaded on to the device. During startup, the device determines the highest level of license and loads the corresponding software features or subsystems.
The Cisco ASR 1001 Router and ASR 1002-X Router support technology package-based licenses that are not node locked. Technology packages and feature licenses are activated using evaluation licenses that are built in. Evaluation licenses are limited period-metered licenses that are valid for 60 days. When the time allowed for an evaluation license expires, the license is automatically upgraded to RTU license. After all the RTU licenses are activated, there is no expiration of license and are valid for a lifetime.
To enable an evaluation license, you have to accept the global end user license agreement (EULA).
![]() Note | Permanent licenses are not affected by Cisco IOS XE release upgrades. |
Accept the EULA to activate the corresponding feature. Migration of a permanent license from previous versions of the software images are seamless. For information on accepting the EULA, see Example: Accepting the Global EULA, page 10-6.
