Smart Licensing Using Policy is a Cisco licensing system that is automatically enabled on controllers and upgrades, ensuring that your Smart Account and Virtual Account in Cisco Smart Software Manager are ready for policy-driven license management by default.
The Smart Licensing Using Policy feature is automatically enabled on the controller. This is also the case when you upgrade to this release. By default, your Smart Account and Virtual Account in Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM) are enabled for Smart Licensing Using Policy. For more information, see Smart Licensing Using Policy. To use Smart Licensing, you must first set up a Smart Account on Cisco License Central. For a more detailed overview on Cisco Licensing, visit Licensing Hub.
