Software Tags and Entitlement Tags
This section describes the software and entitlement tags that are available to identify report, and enforce licenses.
Software Tags
Software tags, also known as product tags, are unique identifiers for the Smart Licensing system to identify each licensable software product or product suite on a device. The Smart client uses this tag for identification during the addition of smart product instance in Cisco Software Central (CSC).
The following software tags exist for the cnBNG CP.
Tag Name |
Smart Tag |
Condition for License Calculation |
---|---|---|
CNBNG_CP_SYS_RTU |

These are base licenses and the count is always one (1). |
CNBNG_CP_SYS_SIA |

Entitlement Tags
Entitlement tag is a part of the software that identifies the features in an image that are being used. These tags underlay the communication on usage and entitlements of software products that are installed on devices. The entitlement tag maps to both the product IDs (PID) license and the software image. Every Smart-enabled PID contains one or more entitlement tags.
The following entitlement tags identify licenses in use:

Per 1000 session only one (1) license is consumed for each entitlement tag. The sessions are rounded off when calculating the number of licenses required: For Example: If num of session count is <= 1000, one license is consumed. If number of sessions are: 1001 to 2000, two licenses are consumed; similarly, from 2001 to 3000, three licenses are consumed and so on.
