Information About Broadband Smart Licensing
In traditional licenses, you have a limited view on license that you own. It requires manual registration to product activation key, where each user has to visit website to register licenses for each product individually.
In smart licenses, customers and partners have a complete view on the licenses. To view these licenses, you need log in to software.cisco.com. After registering to the smart account, the product registration allows easy activation.
Broadband licensing feature is all about moving from traditional licensing to broadband smart licensing where you purchase licenses only for the number of broadband sessions that you brought up during the deployment of Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. For information about smart licensing, see Smart Licensing Using Policy for Cisco Enterprise Routing Platforms.
