Hey there I've been racking my brain over something that is probably so simple. Holistic Simulation Of Geotechnical Installation Processes Plural. It's in regards to Cisco Licensing, specifically with the ASR1K platform - ASR1001x / ASR1002x and this so-called Right to Use / Honor based licence.

Item#: FLSASR1-IPSEC Cisco ASR1001 License Product detail: Cisco ASR1001 License FLSASR1-IPSEC Conditions: Brand New Sealed. List Price: USD$10,000.00.

I really want some clarification here because I've read the below paragraph 100 times (out loud) and it reads one way, but seems to go against everything I thought I knew about Cisco and their licensing practices. Here's the link I'm using - (about 1/3rd down the page) Here's the parts I'm reading: 'With the Cisco ASR 1001, ASR 1001-X, and ASR 1002-X, the concept of a universal software image in combination with a technology package license to enforce a certain feature set by software activation, that is, with a PAK, has been introduced. However, for ASR 1001, as of Cisco IOS XE Software Release 3.6S, technology package licenses, and as of 3.7S, a performance upgrade license to upgrade from 2.5 to 5 Gbps, are both honor-based. For ASR1001-X and ASR 1002-X, both technology package licenses and performance upgrade licenses are honor-based.' Then there is this further down 'The technology package licenses as well as the performance upgrade license to upgrade from 2.5 to 5 Gbps on the Cisco ASR 1001 are enforced through a PAK prior to Cisco IOS XE Software Release 3.6S. All the other feature licenses that are required on the rest of the Cisco ASR 1000 Series are also required on the Cisco ASR 1001, but those licenses are all honor-based; that is, there is no enforcement. For ASR 1001-X and ASR 1002-X, all licenses, including technology package licenses, performance upgrade licenses from 2.5 to 5, 10, or 20 Gbps (on ASR 1001-X) and 5 to 10, 20, or 36 Gbps (on ASR 1002-X), are honor-based.'

So my question is, theoretically. If I can buy a Cisco 1002-X with AES Licence level pre-loaded for $15K, could I use the honour based licence or Right To Use licence to unlock the throughput level from the default 5Gbps to 36 Gbps? At no extra cost? I understand I accept the EULA which then gives me a trial, which then should ultimately fall back to RTU but still provide the exact same functionality. I understand I couldn't lodge cases to the TAC etc or get any support for anything operating within the confines of the RTU licensing but I am more intersted in this for LAB/Personal use to stress test equipment out of production.

I really do apologise if this seems like a stupid question, but it's just something I want to clarify before I go do something crazy. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net archive.

At no extra cost? Correct, once they go RTU, they are not enforced.

But as you said, you should purchase the appropriate throughput license for production use.

If you want this for lab use, Cisco do 'not for resale' pricing which is what we use when purchasing lab gear. Their 'not for resale' program (which in our case since we are a SP not a hardware distributer) means the kit is not used to generate revenue (it is not deployed in our live network).

NFR gives a hefty discount from list price. Cheers, James. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net archive.
