Manage Cisco Licenses Efficiently

With Smart Licenses, once an order is booked the license is automatically available to your Smart Account. Smart Software License enabled devices, once activated, will self-register to the Smart Software Manager and will receive the license(s). There’s no emailing, registering PAKs, or loading license files. Smart Software Licensing creates a pool of software licenses, or entitlements, that can be used across the entire customer profile. This is particularly useful for RMAs because it eliminates the need to re-host licenses. Customers can visualize and manage licenses throughout their company from one central location.

 Unfortunately, not all Cisco devices are Smart License enabled, so some devices still require the use of PAKs. Cisco’s migration path is to Smart Licensing for all devices so expect to see an increasing number of Cisco products in this model over time. Customers are able to convert classic PAK-based licenses to a Smart License, assuming a Smart License equivalent is available. Until then, traditional PAKs can still be stored and managed within Smart Accounts and, for new orders, PAKs can be delivered directly to a Smart Account versus the traditional email.
