--> When you purchase a Cisco router, it comes with an IOS image that has all feature sets included in it but you need to activate it with the help of license.

Buy a Cisco IOS Advanced IP Services - (v. 15.7(3)M) - license or other Network Management at CDWG.com. Cisco IOS (Internetworking Operating System) software is the platform that delivers network services and enables networked applications. Cisco routers and access servers run the industry-leading Cisco IOS software. Cisco IOS software seamlessly links heterogeneous media and devices across the broadest set of protocols.

--> Cisco IOS 15 comes with 4 Feature sets and these 4 Features set combined into one single IOS image called as the universal image.

--> The feature sets are now called as technology packages.

1) IP BASE: (ipbaseK9)

--> By default, all the new ISR routers come with IP BASE License.

--> Its entry-level License for Cisco IOS functionality.

2) DATA (dataK9)

--> support MPLS.ATM. Multiprotocol support

3) Unified Communications (ucK9)

--> support VOIP & IP Telephony

4) Security (securityK9)

--> support Cisco IOS Firewall,IPS,IPsec,3DES,VPN

--> Every router that supports the new licensing model contains a unique device identifier (UDI).

--> This unique device identifier (UDI) number is a combination of the product ID (PID) and a serial number (SN).

--> We can check this unique device identifier (UDI) number on the router, with the help of the following command,

Router # show license udi

--> The UDI is also printed on a label that is located on the back of every switch or router.

--> To check which license is being installed on the router, with the help of the following command,

Router # show license

--> In order to install the license on the router or switch, we need PAK (Product Authorization Key).

--> This PAK includes a unique number which Cisco uses to check what license you have purchased.

--> Then this PAK and UDI of the router or Switch creates a license key.

--> This can be done with the help of Cisco License Registration Portal where you need to enter the PAK and the UDI.

--> Cisco will check if your PAK and UDI are valid and activated or not before. If everything is OK, then you get the license key.

--> Once you get the license key, we need to copy this license key on Flash with the help of TFTP Server or FTP Server.

--> Once License Key in the flash of the router or switch then we can install the license using the following command,

Router# license install flash0:uck9-1900-SPE15dj0_K9-FHH1221357.xml

Router# reload

--> This license can be permanent( Needs License from cisco to run it forever) or evaluation (available with all functionality for the trial period would be 60 days).

IOS 15 is a single software package for the hardware platform that your are using. Now that flash is cheap and large, there doesn’t need to be a different IOS image for the different versions with the advanced features. So you get one software image that has all the features for that platform.

Prior to IOS 15 , we used to have 8 IOS images, all routers came with IPBase image and according to your needs you can choose what IOS image to install on your router as each image had different features than others as illustrated below.

The universal IOS image is loaded by Cisco manufacturing on all shipped routers. An IOS universal image contains all IOS features. Feature sets in the universal image are unlocked using licensing keys, i.e. the level of IOS functionality available is determined by the license applied to the device. A new license only needs to be applied to upgrade IOS functionality on the router. Maintenance upgrades of IOS, i.e. moving from one IOS universal image version to another, does not require a new licensing key. Reboot of a router is also licensing transparent.

Each device ships with universal image, IPBase, DATA, Unified Communications (UC) and Security (SEC) technology packages are enabled in the universal image via Cisco Software Activation licensing keys.

The details of each technology package license can be found in the table below. The new ISR routers also offer a Software Activation feature license and right to use feature licenses. The Software Activation feature licenses use the same Software Activation model as the technology package licenses, while right to use feature licenses are not enforced. Feature licenses work in conjunction with technology package licenses, e.g. the SSLVPN feature license requires a SEC technology package license.

Technology Package	Details	Software Activation Feature Licenses	Right to Use Feature Licenses
IPBaseK9	Offers features found in IPBase IOS image on ISR 1900,2900 and 3900 + Flexible NetFlow + IPV6 parity for IPV4 features present in IPBase. Some of the key feature are AAA BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, ISIS, RIP PBR IGMP, Multicast DHCP HSRP, GLBP NHRP HTTP HQF QoS ACL, NBAR GRE CDP, ARP NTP PPP PPPoA PPPoE RADIUS TACACS SCTP SMDS SNMP STP VLAN DTP IGMP Snooping SPAN WCCP ISDN ADSL over ISDN NAT-Basic X.25, RSVP, NTP, Flexible NetFlow etc.	None	None
SECK9	Offers the security features found in the advanced security IOS image on the ISR 1900,2900 and 3900 e.g. IKE v1 / IPsec / PKI, IPsec/GRE, Easy VPN w/ DVTI, DMVPN, Static VTI, Firewall, Network Foundation Protection,GETVPN etc.	SSLVPN (Counted) Intrusion Prevention (Subscription) Content Filtering (Subscription)	None
UC	Offers the UC features found in IPVoice IOS image on the ISR 1900,2900 and 3900 e.g. TDM/PSTN Gateway, Video Gateway[H320/324],Voice Conferencing, Codec Transcoding, RSVP Agent (voice), FAX T.37/38, CAC/QoS, Hoot-n-Holler etc.	Gatekeeper	Land Mobile Radio CME: Voice & Video (Counted) SRST: Voice & Video (Counted) VXML/IVR Gateway (Counted) CUBE [IPIP Gateway] (Counted)

How to get License from Cisco and how to install it in my Router ?

Purchase the software package or feature that you want to install. You receive a PAK with your purchase.

The Product authorization key PAK is provided to you when you order or purchase the right to use a feature set for a particular platform. The PAK serves as a receipt and is used as part of the process to obtain a license

Get the license file using one of these options:

Cisco License Manager, which is a free software application available at http://www.cisco.com/go/clm.
cisco license registration portal http://www.cisco.com/go/license

What you will do is Convert the PAK to a license by entering the PAK and the unique device identifier (UDI) into the CLM or Cisco Product License Registration portal

The UDI is a combination of the product id (PID), the serial number, and the hardware version.
The UDI is printed on a label that is located on the back of every device and also can be known through (CLI) and SNMP

To know what is your UDI , type show license udi as follow

After entering the appropriate information, you will receive an e-mail containing the license information that you can use to install the license

Copy the license file received from the Cisco Product License Registration portal to the appropriate file system on the device.
Click the Install button on the web page.

A Software Activation License is an XML text file with a .lic extension and even can be opened by any text editor.

Installing Evaluation License for feature set (technology-package)

Let’s say we want to take the benefit of using securityk9 Feature set in Evaluation period to set our router as IOS firewall , we will type the following command

Router(config)#license boot module c2900 technology-package securityk9

Installing Permanent License for feature set (technology-package)

After downloading the license file to your device’s flash issue below command

R1# license install flash0:uck9-2900-SPE150_K9-$%#%^&*.xml

R1# reload

Backing up the License

R1# license save flash:all_licenses.lic

Uninstalling the License

First we need to disable the license
