Managing Software Licenses Using Permanent Right-To-Use Features
Guidelines for the RTU License Model
• The PRTU license model is based on mutual trust between you and Cisco. When you apply an PRTU
license, it is implied that you have first purchased the license from Cisco. This agreement is
explained in detail in the EULA, which is displayed when you activate the license.
•
The PRTU license model does not replace the node-locked license model. Instead, it simplifies
upgrading or moving your switch’s license. The node-licked license model is still available.
• Although PRTU licenses are permanent, we also support evaluation licenses and all existing
licenses.
Applying a PRTU License
To apply a PRTU license on a switch, follow these steps:
Step 1
Upgrade from one license level to another by using the Cisco sales ordering tool to purchase the license.
You will receive an e-mail or paper confirmation that grants you permission to activate the license on
your switch.
Step 2 Apply the license by entering the appropriate commands on your switch. If you are upgrading a license
on a switch, enter the activation command to activate the higher license. If you are moving a license from
one switch to another, enter the deactivation command on the first switch and the activation command
on the second switch.
Note Prior to IOS Release XE 3.4.2SG, you provided the license file to a Cisco server, then obtained
the new license file. With IOS Release XE 3.4.2SG, you do not require those operations. Once
the IOS image is upgraded, you receive the license on the switch and activate it with the
license
right-to-use activate feature name command.
Step 3 Read and accept the EULA.
Step 4
If you change the license boot level, reboot.
Note
When activating PRTU for the same license level as the existing one, a reboot is unnecessary.
Activating a PRTU License
To activate a PRTU license on a switch, use either of the following commands in privileged EXEC mode:
Command Purpose
Step 1 license right-to-use activate feature-name Activates a license on a switch and prompts for EULA.
Step 2 license right-to-use activate feature-name
acceptEULA
Activates a license without prompting for EULA.
This step may be required in situations where deployments
are automated using install scripts.
