Obtain software activation license
Obtain the software activation license using a downloadable software called the Cisco License Manager (CLM) or the Cisco License Registration Portal located on Cisco’s website. You’ll be prompted for your PAK as well as a unique device identifier (UDI) which can be found on a pull-out label on the outside of the router. Or, you can display the UDI using the show license UDI command. This unique number is a combination of the product ID, the hardware version, and the serial number for the device.
Install the license
To install the license:
Use the license install command in privileged exec mode to install the file.
Use the reload command in privileged mode to reboot the router. This reload is not required if you are still in the evaluation version trial period.
Verify that the license has been installed using the show license command. This command will present you with information about the name of the feature including:
License type (either permanent or evaluation)
License state (either active or in use)
License count (how many licenses are available and in use)
License priority (indicates the priority of the license as either high or low)
Back up the license
Use the license save command in privileged mode to copy the license info to another device. Backup licenses can be restored using the license install command.
*As with all other important data and configurations, you should back up your license information.
Uninstall license
Disable the technology package using the license boot module commands found in global configuration mode. Once uninstalled, you can also clear the files from the device using the license clear command in privileged exec mode.
You need to enable the Security feature set on a router.
You visited the Cisco website to purchase the feature set and create a product authorization key (PAK). Cisco emailed you a license file (FTX1788948P_201304123432565291.lic), which you copied to a USB drive. You connected the USB drive to the device. Now you need to install the license.
Which commands should you enter prior to the reload command?
To enable a feature set, you need to install the license and then reload the router. In this scenario, this is done using the following commands:
license install usbflash1:FTX1788948P_201304123432565291.lic
reload
The license boot module c2900 technology-package securityk9 command enables the Security feature set, but it uses a 60-day evaluation license.
The license install c2900 technology-package securityk9 and the license boot module c2900 technology-package securityk9 usbflash1:FTX1788948P_201304123432565291.lic commands use incorrect command syntax.
You use a Cisco 2900 router in your network. You are considering purchasing and implementing the Unified Communications feature set on this router. However, you would like to evaluate this feature set for a period of time prior to purchasing it.
Which command activates the evaluation right-to-use license for this feature set?
The license boot module device_model technology-package feature_set command installs a 60-day evaluation license for the specified feature set. Evaluation licenses don’t require a PAK. Replace device_model with the model number of the device. Replace feature_set with the name of the feature set to be enabled, such as uck9 (for Unified Communications).
The license boot module c2900 technology-package securityk9 command uses the correct syntax, but installs the Security feature set instead of the Unified Communications feature set.
The license boot module c2900 technology-package datak9 command also uses the correct syntax, but installs the Data feature set instead of the Unified Communications feature set.
The license install evaluate uck9 and install license feature uck9 EvaluateRightToUse commands use incorrect syntax for installing an evaluation license.
Which mode is required to install the license on a Cisco device?
Privileged exec mode provides a user with editing capabilities. Use the license install command in privileged exec mode to install the file.
Global configuration mode provides advanced access to device configurations.
User exec mode provides the most basic level of access to a Cisco device.
ROMmon mode is a command line mode that is used to recover a lost or forgotten password, reinstall the IOS, or to format the flash file system.
