Software Licensing on Cisco ASR1000-RP3 Module

This chapter provides a high-level overview of the licensing options available for the Cisco ASR1000-RP3 module and information about verifying the Cisco IOS license level. The Cisco ASR1000-RP3 module supports built-in evaluation, Right To Use (RTU), and permanent licenses.

The Cisco ASR1000-RP3 module supports the following license options:

  • Cisco ASR 1000 IP Base License
  • Cisco ASR 1000 Advanced IP Services License (AIS)
  • Cisco ASR 1000 Advanced Enterprise Services License (AES)

All the licenses supported on Cisco ASR1000-RP2 are also supported on Cisco ASR1000-RP3. The commands to install, activate and monitor the licenses are same as the ones used for other ASR 1000 platforms.

Viewing the Cisco IOS License Level

Use the show version command to determine the Cisco IOS license level in the router. For example:

Router# show version
.
.
.
License Level: adventerprise
License Type: RightToUse
Next reload license Level: adventerprise
.
.
.

Viewing License Information

You can also determine the UDI information using the show running-config command, for example:

Router# show running-config
.
.
.
license udi pid ASR1013 sn NWG143603HH
.
.
.

Evaluation License Features

The following are the features of the Evaluation license:

  • A EULA will be presented, and must be accepted, the first time you enable any feature license.
  • Port licensing is not supported on RP3.
  • When the 60-Day Evaluation Period expires, the license automatically changes to an RTU license. As with all other RTU licenses, there is no functionality disruption or accessibility concerns following this transition.
  • As with past license implementations, the Permanent license has higher precedence than the built-in EvalRTU license.
