Understanding Cisco Licensing
Cisco Licensing is a complex yet crucial aspect of utilizing Cisco products. It governs the use of Cisco software and hardware, ensuring compliance and optimizing your network infrastructure. This comprehensive guide will delve into the key concepts, types, and best practices associated with Cisco Licensing.
Types of Cisco Licenses
Cisco offers two primary types of licenses:
- Smart Licenses: Smart Licenses are software-based licenses that offer greater flexibility and ease of management. They are tied to your Cisco Smart Account and can be easily assigned and reassigned to different devices.
- Product Activation Keys (PAKs): PAKs are traditional licenses tied to specific hardware devices. They require manual installation and management, making them less flexible than their modern counterpart.
Key Benefits of Cisco Smart Licensing
