Voluntarily Rehosting the License to a New VM
The process for rehosting a license on the Cisco CSR 1000v is different compared to other Cisco platforms. Because the license is not mapped to a Cisco hardware device, additional steps may be necessary for rehosting the license.
If you plan to voluntarily rehost the Cisco CSR 1000v to a new VM and the router is operating properly, you can use the self-service rehosting process on the Cisco Software Licensing Tool.
Note |
The self-service rehosting process is only available for permanent licenses on the Cisco CSR 1000v. If you have subscription term licenses installed, you must contact licensing@cisco.com for assistance. |
