What is Smart Licensing?

Smart Licensing is a cloud-based, flexible software licensing model that enables you to activate and manage Cisco software licenses across their organization. Smart Licensing solution allows you to easily track the status of your license and software usage trends. Cisco Smart Licensing establishes a pool of licenses or entitlements that can be used across the entire organization in a flexible and automated manner. Smart Licensing helps simplify four core functions:

  • Purchase—Creates a Smart Account (and optionally, your Virtual Account). Licenses are added to your Smart Account and are immediately available for use.

  • Install—Register your product with your Smart Account using an account-based Registration Token. Thereafter, the entire process is automatic. Product Activation Keys (PAKs) and license files are no longer needed.

  • Management—Make changes to license consumption by updating your configuration; any license change is automatically reflected in your Smart Account. You can share licenses in your Virtual Account through the license pooling option. License pools (logical grouping of licenses) can reflect your organization structure. Smart Licensing solution also offers Cisco Smart Software Manager, a centralized portal that enables you to manage all your Cisco software licenses from one centralized website.

  • Visibility and Asset Management—Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM) portal offers an integrated view of the licenses you own and have deployed. You can use this data to make better purchase decisions, based on your consumption.


Note


  • Smart Licensing is enabled by default.

  • Only Flexible Consumption Model smart licenses are supported.


For more information on Smart Licensing and related documentation, see https://www.cisco.com/c/en_in/products/software/smart-accounts/software-licensing.html.

What is Flexible Consumption Model?

The Flexible Consumption Model (FCM) provides the capability and flexibility to purchase software capacity as needed. FCM delivers the following:

  • Pay-as-you-grow—Enables you to lower initial costs and add more capacity over time.

  • Simplify operations—FCM delivers the carrier-class IOS-XR software feature set with two software suites, Essentials and Advanced, that simplify license management.

  • Utilize capital efficiently—License pooling enables an efficient way to share licenses across the network.

The following table provides information about FCM licenses for Cisco 8000 Series routers:

License Name

Hardware Supported

Consumption Pattern

Essential and Advanced Licenses:
  • ESS-CA-400G-RTU-2

  • ESS-CA-100G-RTU-2

  • ADV-CA-400G-RTU-2

  • ADV-CA-100G-RTU-2

Fixed port router:

Cisco 8201 Router

Modular port router:

Cisco 8812 Router

The number of essential or advanced licenses consumed depends on the number of active ports and is reported on per chassis basis.

Hardware Tracking Licenses that support chassis

  • 8201-TRK

  • 8812-TRK

  • 8808-TRK

  • 8818-TRK

  • 8202-TRK

  • 8804-TRK

  • 8800-LC-48H-TRK

  • 8800-LC-36FH-TRK

These Tracking licenses are named on the basis of the hardware supported. For example, 8201-TRK licenses support Cisco 8201 Router.

The number of licenses consumed depends on the number of line cards in use.

How Does Smart Licensing Work?

Figure 1. Smart Licensing - Workflow
  1. Place Order and Create Smart Account—You must have a Smart Account to set up Smart Licensing.

    1. Go to https://software.cisco.com/.

    2. Under the Administration section, click Get a Smart Account or Request Access to an Existing Smart Account.

    3. Verify or enter your Cisco.com profile details to complete creating a Smart Account.

  2. Activate and Use Software—Register your product. For more information, see the Registering your Router section. After you enable Smart Licensing, you can use either of the following options to communicate with the CSSM:

    • Smart Call Home—The Smart Call Home feature is automatically configured after the Smart Licensing is enabled. Smart Call Home is used by Smart Licensing as a medium for communication with the CSSM. You can use this feature to page a network support engineer, email a Network Operations Center, or use Cisco Smart Call Home services to generate a case with the Technical Assistance Center. The Call Home feature can deliver alert messages containing information about diagnostics and environmental faults and events. For more information on Smart Call Home feature, see the Smart Call Home Deployment Guide.

    • Smart Licensing CSSM On-Prem—The Smart licensing on-premise option provides an on-premises collector that can be used to consolidate and manage Smart license usage, as well as facilitate communications back to the CSSM at Cisco.com.

  3. Manage Licenses—You can manage and view reports about your overall license usage in the Smart Software Manager portal.

What is Cisco Smart Software Manager?

Cisco Smart Software Manager enables you to manage all of your Cisco Smart software licenses from one centralized website. With Cisco Smart Software Manager, you organize and view your licenses in groups called virtual accounts (collections of licenses and product instances). The Cisco Smart Software Manager allows you to:

  • Create, manage, or view virtual accounts

  • Create and manage Product Instance Registration Tokens

  • Transfer licenses between virtual accounts or view licenses

  • Transfer, remove, or view product instances

  • Run reports against your virtual accounts

  • Modify your email notification settings

  • View overall account information

To access the Cisco Smart Software Manager:

Smart Licensing Deployment Options

The following illustration shows the various options available for deploying Smart Licensing:

Figure 2. Smart Licensing Deployment Options
  1. Direct cloud access—In this method, Cisco products send usage information directly over the internet to CSSM on http://www.cisco.com; no additional components are needed for deployment.

  2. Direct cloud access through an HTTPs proxy—In direct cloud access through an HTTPs proxy deployment method, Cisco products send usage information over the internet through a proxy server—either a Smart Call Home Transport Gateway or off-the-shelf Proxy (such as Apache) to CSSM on http://www.cisco.com.

  3. Mediated access through an on-premises collector-connected—In mediated access through an on-premises collector-connected deployment method, Cisco products send usage information to a locally connected collector, which acts as a local license authority. Periodically, the information is exchanged to keep the databases in synchronization.

  4. Mediated access through an on-premises collector-disconnected—In the mediated access through an on-premises collector-disconnected deployment method, Cisco products send usage information to a local disconnected collector, which acts as a local license authority. Exchange of human-readable information is performed occasionally (once a month) to keep the databases in synchronization.

Options 1 and 2 provide easy deployment options, whereas options 3 and 4 provide secure environment deployment options.


Note


Smart Software On-Premise provides support for options 3 and 4.


The communication between Cisco devices and CSSM is facilitated by the Smart Call Home software.

Registering and Activating Your Router

Product registration securely associates a device with the Smart Account and the Virtual Account of your choice. It also establishes trust between the end product and the CSSM. Tokens are used to register a product with the appropriate Virtual Account on CSSM Cloud (on Cisco.com) or CSSM On-Premise.

A Registration Token:

  • Can be either used once or reused multiple times. You can set a limit to the number of times a token can be reused when you create the token.

  • Can be created and revoked at any time.

  • Expires after a period of time (default is 30 days; minimum is one day; maximum is 365 days)

A Registration Token is not:

  • Product specific: The same Registration Token can be used on different product types.

  • A license, key, or PAK.

  • Stored on the Cisco device and they are not persistent.

  • Required after the product is registered. Token expiration has no effect on previously registered products; it simply means that that token can no longer be used to register a new product.

Generating a New Token from CSSM

Procedure


Step 1

If you choose the direct cloud access deployment option, log in to CSSM from https://software.cisco.com/#.

If you chose the mediated access deployment option, log in to CSSM On-Prem from https://<on-prem-ip-address>:8443.

Step 2

Select the Inventory tab.

Step 3

From the Virtual Account drop-down list, choose the virtual account to which you want to register your product.

Step 4

Select the General tab.

Step 5

Click New Token.

The Create Registration Token window is displayed.

Step 6

In the Description field, enter the token description.

In the Expire After field, enter the number of days the token must be active. The default value is 30 days.

In the Max. Number of Uses field, enter the maximum number of uses allowed after which the token expires.

Select the Allow export-controlled functionality on the products registered with this token checkbox to ensure Cisco compliance with US and country-specific export policies and guidelines. For more information, see https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/about/legal/global-export-trade.html.

Click Create Token.

Step 7

After the token is created, select and copy the token to a text file.

You need this token to register your router.


What to do next

See the Registering Your Device With the Token section.

Registering Your Device With the Token

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. license smart register idtoken token-ID

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action Purpose

license smart register idtoken token-ID

Example:

license smart register idtoken $Tl4UytrNXBzbEs1ck8veUtWaG5abnZJOFdDa1FwbVRa%0AblRMbz0%3D%0A

Registers Smart Licensing on the router using the registration token created in the CSSM. On successful registration, the product instance is created in the CSSM virtual account and its license usage is displayed on the CSSM.

Renewing Your Smart Licensing Registration

Your registration is automatically renewed every six months. To find the status of the license, use the license smart renew auth command.

As long as the license is in an 'Authorized' or 'Out-of-compliance' (OOC) state, the authorization period is renewed. Grace period starts when an authorization period expires. During the grace period or when the grace period is in the 'Expired' state, the system continues to try to renew the authorization period. If a retry is successful, a new authorization period starts.


Note


If the smart license renewal fails, then the product instance goes to an unidentified state and starts consuming the evaluation period.


Before you begin

Ensure that the following conditions are met to renew your smart license:

  • Smart licensing is enabled.

  • The router is registered.

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. license smart renew {auth | id}

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action Purpose

license smart renew {auth | id}

Example:

Router# license smart renew auth

Renews your token ID or authorization with Cisco smart licensing.

Deregistering Your Router from CSSM

When a router is taken off the inventory, shipped elsewhere for redeployment, or returned to Cisco for replacement, you can deregister that router.

Before you begin

Ensure that a Layer 3 connection to CSSM is available to successfully deregister the device.

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. license smart deregister

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action Purpose

license smart deregister

Example:

Router# license smart deregister

Cancels the registration of the router and sends the router into evaluation mode. All smart licensing entitlements and certificates on the corresponding platform are removed. The product instance of the router stored on CSSM is also removed.

Verifying the Smart Licensing Configuration

Use the following show commands to verify the default Smart Licensing configuration. If any issue is detected, take corrective action before making further configurations.

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. show license status
  2. show license all
  3. show license status
  4. show license udi
  5. show license summary
  6. show license platform summary
  7. show license platform detail
  8. show call-home smart-licensing statistics

DETAILED STEPS

  Command or Action Purpose

Step 1

show license status

Example:

Router# show license status

Displays the compliance status of Smart Licensing. Following are the possible status:

  • Authorized—Indicates that your device is able to communicate with the Cisco license manager, and is authorized to initiate requests for license entitlements.

  • Out-Of-Compliance—Indicates that one or more of your licenses are out-of-compliance. Buy more licenses, or renew the existing licenses.

  • Eval Period—Indicates that Smart Licensing is consuming the evaluation period. Register the device with the Cisco Licensing manager, else your license expires.

    Note

     

    Repetitive 'Smart Licensing evaluation expired' warning messages are displayed on the console every hour, but there is no functionality impact on the device. To stop these repetitive messages, register the device again with new a registration token.

  • Disabled—Indicates that Smart Licensing is disabled.

  • Invalid—Indicates that Cisco does not recognize the entitlement tag as the tag is not in the database.

Step 2

show license all

Example:

Router# show license all  

Displays all entitlements in use. The output also displays the associated licensing certificates, compliance status, Unique Device Identifier (UDI), and other details.

Step 3

show license status

Example:

Router# show license status  

Displays the status of all entitlements in use.

Step 4

show license udi

Example:

Router# show license udi

Displays the Unique Device Identifier (UDI) information.

Step 5
