The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

This document describes the software restructuring that the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers has undergone to achieve consistency in software solution packaging across Enterprise Routing platforms.
The software license solution for Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers provides the following features:
Creates consistent enterprise WAN routing structure by aligning software license packaging across ASR1000, ISR and CSR1000v product lines for deployment models.
Simplifies the licensing structure for Smart Licensing.
Creates consistency between Cisco ASR 1000 fixed and modular systems by providing multiple licenses instead of individual feature licenses.
Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest caveats and feature information, see Bug Search Tool and the release notes for your platform and software release. To find information about the features documented in this module, and to see a list of the releases in which each feature is supported, see the feature information table.
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.
A Cisco user login account is mandatory.
Boot level Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) is a prerequisite license before the Software License Solution can be enabled on an ASR1000 device.
Before installing the Software License Solution, obtain the device certificate from Cisco licensing infrastructure.
Universalk9.xml and features.xml files changes are required to support the Right-To-Use and the bundling requirements.

Information About Software License Solution
The Software License Solution feature for Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers (ASR1K) helps to align with technology-based license model (a non Cisco-ONE suite), which is similar to a model used in Integrated Services Routers (ISR) and CSR 1000v Series Cloud Services Routers (CSR).
The following table shows the Solution Licenses Product Identifiers (PIDs) and their functional features:

Software License Solution is a bundle of licenses where all licenses within a bundle are active, but are not individually used when the license solution is enabled. For example, for the ASR1001-HX and ASR1002-HX routers, due to the introduction of performance-based crypto-license model, a specific HX-specific SEC license needs to be created to include the 8G crypto performance level. As a result of standardization, the following could be a customer’s shopping experience when they choose the right technology solution license between an ISR and ASR:

How to Configure Software License Solution
Similar to the Cisco ONE suite license, thelicense solution level command triggers a request for the license solution to the licensing component or Smart License Agent. Additionally, all licenses within the software license solution are active; however, the licenses cannot be used individually when the license solution is enabled.
![]() Note | The show license detail command shows the details of the software license solution, which are similar to Cisco ONE suite licenses. The license solution level command is not a boot-level license, hence no sub-module repackaging or ROMMON changes are required. |
