The AR-MXP and AR-XP cards deploy feature-based licenses. The license file is installed in the boot flash of the card. A maximum of 20 licenses are supported per card.

The following low-rate modes on the AR-MXP and AR-XP cards are part of the base functionality and do not need any license for their use.

• TXP-MR-LOW

• TXPP-MR-LOW

• MXP-MR-LOW

• MXPP-MR-LOW

• RGN-2.5G

The following high-rate modes on the AR-MXP and AR-XP cards need license for their use.

• TXP-MR-HIGH

• MXP-DME-HIGH

• MXPP-DME-HIGH

• MXP-MR-HIGH

• MXPP-MR-HIGH

• MXP-4x2.5-10G

• MXPP-4x2.5-10G

• MXP-VDC-10G

• RGN-10G

The licensable PIDs for the AR-MXP and AR-XP cards are:

• 15454-AR-MXP-LIC

• 15454-AR-XP-LIC

The non-licensable PIDs for the AR-MXP and AR-XP cards are:

• 15454-AR-MXP

• 15454-AR-XP

The following table lists the various operating modes of the AR-MXP and AR-XP cards and their corresponding licenses.

The 80-WXC-C card uses count-based licenses that represent the number of licensed wavelengths on the express (EXP) ports. The card has a base functionality for the first ten circuits provisioned using the EXP ports. License is required for provisioning any additional circuits on the EXP (Tx) ports. Permanent licenses can be purchased in 10-port increments. A maximum of seven sets of permanent licenses, each supporting ten ports, can be installed.

The evaluation license on the 80-WXC-C card supports full capability and hence, all the ports can be provisioned.

The licensable PID for the 80-WXC-C card is 15454-WXC-LIC. The non-licensable PID for the 80-WXC-C card is 15454-80-WXC-C.

The usage of the 80-WXC-C card licensing impacts the circuit provisioning in the following ways:

• If the card is used on a meshed node (of N degrees) or on a ROADM node, the licensing will determine the number of OCH pass-through circuits that can be provisioned crossing the EXP (Tx) ports.

• If the card is used on a node where a side is defined on the EXP (Tx) port, licensing will determine the number of OCH pass-through or add/drop circuits that can be provisioned on that side.

• If the card is used on a colorless node and configured as multiplexer (mux) or demultiplexer (demux), the Exp (Tx) ports cannot be used to provision any circuit. There is no limitation on the number of provisionable circuits crossing the card or using the card as the circuit source or destination.

If a circuit under base functionality is deleted, an existing circuit under temporary or evaluation license does not get transferred to the base functionality. However, if a new circuit is provisioned on the device, it will use the port available under base functionality.

The 40-SMR1-C and 40-SMR2-C cards use count-based licenses that represent the number of licensed wavelengths on the express (EXP) ports. The card has a base functionality for the first ten circuits provisioned using the EXP ports. License is required for provisioning any additional circuits on the EXP (Tx and Rx) ports. Permanent licenses can be purchased in 10-port increments. A maximum of three sets of permanent licenses, each supporting ten ports, can be installed.

The evaluation license on the 40-SMR1-C and 40-SMR2-C cards supports full capability and hence, all the ports can be provisioned.

The licensable PIDs for the 40-SMR1-C and 40-SMR2-C cards are:

• 15454-SMR1-LIC

• 15454-SMR2-LIC

The non-licensable PIDs for the 40-SMR1-C and 40-SMR2-C cards are:

• 15454-40-SMR1-C

• 15454-40-SMR2-C

The usage of the 40-SMR1-C and 40-SMR2-C card licensing impacts the circuit provisioning in the following ways:

• If the card is used on a meshed node (of N degrees) or on a ROADM node, the licensing will determine the number of OCH pass-through circuits that can be provisioned crossing the EXP (Tx) ports.

• If the card is used on node where a side is defined on the EXP (Tx) port, the licensing will determine the number of OCH pass-through or add/drop circuits that can be provisioned on that side.

If a circuit under base functionality is deleted, an existing circuit under temporary or evaluation license does not get transferred to the base functionality. However, if a new circuit is provisioned on the device, it will use the port available under base functionality.

The 40-SMR1-C card goes to the LIC-Evaluation period without a traffic hit under the following conditions:

• When the 40-SMR1-C card is upgraded to a release that requires a license.

• When a permanent license is purchased for all the 40 channels.

The 17 SMR9 FS, 24 SMR9 FS, 34 SMR9 FS, and SMR20 FS cards use count-based licenses that represent the number of licensed ports on the express (EXP) ports.

The licensable card versions for the 17 SMR9 FS, 24 SMR9 FS, and 34 SMR9 FS cards have only three ports that are enabled, and by default, they do not have Flex Spectrum capability. The licensable card version for the SMR20 FS card has only four ports that are enabled, and by default, does not have Flex Spectrum capability. Additional ports can be activated through specific licenses. The licenses can be permanent licenses or evaluation licenses.

The 200G-CK-LC card supports feature-based licensing.

The base functionality is enabled in the licensed card version. Additional features are provided through specific feature licenses. The feature licenses can be permanent license or evaluation license.

The following table describes the four feature licenses that can be purchased from the licensing portal.

The licenses for the 400G-XP-LC card are installed by default.

The encryption functionality on the Wire Speed Encyrption (WSE) card is enabled using a licence. The WSE card uses a maximum of four count-based licenses. Licenses are supported only when the WSE card operates in the TXP-10G mode. The PIDs for the WSE card are:

• Licensable—15454-M-WSE-L-K9=

• Non–licensable—15454-M-WSE-K9=

In the TXP-10G mode, each of the ten SFP+ ports can be provisioned as a client or trunk port. The client-trunk port pairs are 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, and 9-10. The base functionality is applicable on the first port pair on which encryption is enabled. Licenses are required to enable encryption on additional port pairs. A licence is required for every port pair. When a valid license expires, the LIC-MISSING alarm is raised on the trunk port.

Note	All the port pairs are operational under the TXP-10G mode even without a license. However, encryption is enabled only when valid licenses are installed.

The MR-MXP card supports feature-based licensing. The base functionality is enabled in the licensed card version. Additional features such as encryption are provided through specific feature licenses. The feature licenses can be permanent license or evaluation license.

The following table describes the encryption licenses that can be purchased from the licensing portal.
