Smart Licensing Using Policy
Feature Information
A cloud-based, software license management
solution that allows you to manage and track the
status of your license, hardware, and software usage
trends.
Starting from this release, Smart Licensing is the
default and the only available method to manage
licenses.
Starting from Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1 the
Right-To-Use (RTU) licensing mode is deprecated,
and the associated license right-to-use command
is no longer available on the CLI.
An enhanced version of Smart Licensing, with the
overarching objective of providing a licensing
solution that does not interrupt the operations of
your network, rather, one that enables a compliance
relationship to account for the hardware and
software licenses you purchase and use.
Starting with this release, Smart Licensing Using
Policy is automatically enabled on the device. This
is also the case when you upgrade to this release.
By default, your Smart Account and Virtual
Account in CSSM is enabled for Smart Licensing
Using Policy.
Cisco DNA Center supports Smart Licensing Using
Policy functionality starting with Cisco DNA
Center Release 2.2.2.
When you use Cisco DNA Center to manage a
product instance, Cisco DNA Center connects to
CSSM, and is the interface for all communication
to and from CSSM.
