Restrictions for Cisco IOS Software Activation

Not all Cisco router and switch platforms can use the Cisco IOS Software Activation feature. Use the Cisco Feature Navigator at http://www.cisco.com/go/cfn and the table in the "Feature Information for Cisco IOS Software Activation" section, to determine which platforms and images support the Cisco IOS Software Activation feature.

For the stackable switches that support the Cisco IOS Software Activation feature, one switch must act as primary and the others as secondaries. The primary switch performs management and administrative operations on itself as well as on the secondary switches.

Information About the Cisco IOS Software Activation

•License Activation MIB Support

License Activation MIB Support

The Cisco IOS Software Activation feature introduces the CISCO-LICENSE-MGMT-MIB to allow SNMP-based license management and administrative tasks. A description of this MIB can be found by using tools at this URL: http://tools.cisco.com/ITDIT/MIBS/servlet/index

Use the MIB Locator tool and the Search for MIB selection box to select CISCO-LICENSE-MGMT-MIB.

The unique device identifier (UDI) is also associated with the Entity Name and Product Description data elements for the management information base (MIB) system. The MIB nomenclature for Entity Name is entPhysicalName and for Product Description is entPhysicalDescr.

How to Activate Software from a Cisco IOS Device

•Installing and Upgrading Licenses by Using Software Activation Commands (required)

•Managing Licenses by Using Software Activation Commands (optional)

•Removing Licenses by Using Software Activation Commands (optional)

•Troubleshooting License Operations by Using Software Activation Commands (optional)

Installing and Upgrading Licenses by Using Software Activation Commands

Use this task to install or upgrade a license by using the software activation commands.

If you use Microsoft Entourage and receive the license file from Cisco in an e-mail attachment, the license file will contain UTF-8 marking. These extra bytes in the license file cause it to be unusable during license installation. To work around this issue, you can use a text editor to remove the extra characters and then install the license file. For more information about UTF-8 encoding, go to this URL: http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-utf8-bom.

Prerequisites

Read and understand the concepts in the "License Activation Process" section of the Cisco IOS Software Activation Conceptual Overview module.

You can perform this task to install or upgrade a license by using the Cisco IOS license install command. You must have already received the license file from the Cisco Product License Registration portal at http://www.cisco.com/go/license (or you already backed up the license by using the Cisco IOS license save command).

Saving License Credential Information Associated with a Device to a Specified Storage Area

Perform this task to save license credential information associated with a device to a specified storage area.

Prerequisites

Before you can start the rehost or resend process, a device credential is required. Cisco IOS licensing requires that the license files generated by the Cisco back-end licensing system for its devices be secure and tamper-resistant. Security features are in place to authenticate a license by means of encrypted license credentials. If it becomes necessary to transfer a license from one device to another (which is called rehosting), a permission ticket is required. To generate the permission ticket, the Cisco back-end licensing system requires the device credential information.
