The license accept end user agreement command is used to accept the EULA for all Cisco IOS software packages and features. After the command is issued and the EULA accepted, it is automatically applied for all Cisco IOS software packages and feature licenses.
Full Answer
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. Rehosting requires a permission ticket.
Unless noted otherwise, subsequent releases of that software release train also support that feature. Cisco IOS Software Activation EXEC commands support basic licensing processes. This feature is platform-independent.
When you activate software from a Cisco device, you can license software without the need for additional application software. Your software release might not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest feature information and caveats, see the release notes for your platform and software release.
Permanent licenses are not affected by Cisco IOS XE release upgrades. An evaluation license is required to activate the licensed features. When a router enters the configuration mode, a check is performed to verify the license.
To rehost (revoke and transfer) a license by using unique device identifiers (UDIs) and the Cisco License Call Home feature, use the license call-home revoke command in privileged EXEC mode.
To display information about right-to-use licenses and their states on a switch, use the show license right-to-use command in privileged EXEC mode.
To enable the ports on the interface module, use the platform enable controller command in global configuration mode. To disable the ports, use the no form of this command.
To boot a new software license on routing platforms, use the license boot module command in global configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.
To specify the URL to send license agent notifications, use the license agent notify command in global configuration mode. To remove the configuration, use the no form of this command.
If only one license is present, it is automatically selected. If the selected license is an evaluation license and the feature has not been activated, the end-user license agreement (EULA) is shown, and you are prompted to accept or reject the agreement.
You can also use the license comment command to verify that a license associated with the specified feature is present in license storage.
To rehost (revoke and transfer) a license by using unique device identifiers (UDIs) and the Cisco License Call Home feature, use the license call-home revoke command in privileged EXEC mode.
The Cisco License Call Home feature allows a Cisco router to communicate with the Cisco licensing infrastructure through the Internet and retrieve licensing information. This command requires that the router be connected to the Internet.
The license accept end user agreement command is used to accept the EULA for all Cisco IOS software packages and features. After the command is issued and the EULA accepted, it is automatically applied for all Cisco IOS software packages and feature licenses.
Usage Guidelines. For the ASR 1001 router, the license clear command clears only image-level licenses that are not in-use. Once the throughput feature license is in-use, it cannot be cleared. The license clear command clears all licenses, but some licenses, such as built-in licenses, cannot be cleared.
To accept the end-user license agreement (EULA) for all Cisco IOS software packages and features at one time, use the license accept end user agreement command in global configuration mode.
If a license is not in-use, the license clear command displays all the licenses related to this feature and prompts you to make a selection. Different prompts are displayed, depending upon whether single or multiple licenses are available in the device. The selected licenses are removed from the router or switch.
To specify the URL to send license agent notifications, use the license agent notify command in global configuration mode. To remove the configuration, use the no form of this command.
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. Rehosting requires a permission ticket. To generate the permission ticket, the Cisco back-end licensing system requires the device credential information. Use the license save credential command to save device credential information to a specified file system.
The Cisco Support and Documentation website provides online resources to download documentation, software, and tools. Use these resources to install and configure the software and to troubleshoot and resolve technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. Access to most tools on the Cisco Support and Documentation website requires a Cisco.com user ID and password.
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.
Revokes and transfers a license by using the permission ticket provided by the Cisco back-end licensing system.
The reload command shows the expired licenses, followed by expiring licenses sorted by the period left and end date:
The installation process does not install duplicate licenses. This message appears when duplicate licenses are detected:
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.
The "license right-to-use move" command can be used to trigger a manual/on-demand conversion from EvalRTU to RTU. The Eval period countdown timer will no longer be displayed.
Then save the config and reload, in order to activate the additional CPU cores that are required for higher throughput.
