Configuration Options
Cisco Prime Network Registrar DHCP, Authoritative DNS, and Caching DNS components are licensed and
managed from the regional server. You need to have a regional server and all services in the local clusters
are licensed through the regional cluster. Only a regional install asks for a license file and only the regional
server accepts new license files. Then the regional server can authorize individual local clusters based on
available licenses.
