/mcpSmart Software Licensing Support for IOS-XE IOS-XE supports Smart Licensing beginning with image version 16.6.1 and Device Led Conversion with image version 16.9.1. Cisco Smart Licensing is a flexible licensing model that provides you with an easier, faster, and more consistent way to purchase and manage software across the Cisco portfolio and across your organization. And it is secure – you control what users can access. With Smart Licensing you get: ● Easy Activation: Smart Licensing establishes a pool of software licenses that can be used across the entire organization—no more PAKs (Product Activation Keys). ● Unified Management: My Cisco Entitlements (MCE) provides a complete view into all of your Cisco products and services in an easy-to-use portal, so you always know what you have and what you are using. ● License Flexibility: Your software is not node-locked to your hardware, so you can easily use and transfer licenses as needed. To use Smart Licensing, you must first set up a Smart Account on Cisco Software Central (software.cisco.com). One or more Virtual Accounts maybe created under the Smart Account to enable the organization to logically segregate the purchased licenses. Device Led Conversion (DLC) allows the customer to convert all existing PAK and RTU licenses on the router into a Smart License.
