Activating Permanent License Reservation

Introduction to Activating Permanent License Reservation

Activating a license using Permanent License Reservation (PLR) allows a device to use a license without
having to be connected to Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM) or CSSM satellite.
Activating Permanent License Reservation
This process describes how to activate permanent license reservation (PLR), which allows a product instance
or device to have universal entitlement to a license. After activating PLR, the device does not need to
communicate with Cisco Smart Software Manager(SSM) or a Cisco SSM server to maintain its ability to use
features associated with a license. The license will not become out of compliance.
