Cisco CMX ships with a fully functional 120-day evaluation license, which is activated after Cisco CMX is installed and started
for the first time. The countdown starts when you start Cisco CMX and enable a service.
You must upload a permanent license to Cisco CMX before the evaluation license expires. Two weeks before the evaluation license
expires, you will receive a daily alert to obtain a permanent license. If the evaluation license expires, you will not be
able to access the Cisco CMX GUI or APIs. Cisco CMX will continue to run in the background and collect data until you add
a permanent license.
Note |
After the evaluation license expires, only users with admin privileges can log in to add additional licenses.

Cisco CMX provides multiple reminders that the evaluation license is about to expire:
-
For two weeks
before the evaluation license expires, a daily alert is displayed on the Cisco
CMX
System
> Alerts window.
-
An alert email is sent if you have configured email settings.
-
An alert is
displayed when you log in to Cisco CMX.
To add a license, click Add new license from the alert. You can also add a license from the Cisco CMX Manage > Licenses window. For information about adding permanent licenses, see Managing Licenses.
The Licenses window displays the Cisco CMX licenses and the Cisco DNA Spaces licenses.
Cisco DNA Spaces is a single, scalable, reliable location platform that leverages existing wireless investments to digitize
spaces - people and things. There are two licenses for Cisco DNA Spaces, DNA Spaces SEE and DNA Spaces ACT. We recommend that you upload the Term license for Cisco DNA Spaces before the expiry of the evaluation license.
Note |
The license file has a .lic extension. Make sure it is the .lic file that you install on Cisco CMX. The .lic file is available
as part of your licensing package and is sent as an email attachment from licensing. Extract the .lic file to your system
and upload to Cisco CMX when adding a new license.
