Working With Contract Connection
Cisco Contract Connection lets you verify which of your Cisco IOS devices are covered by a service
contract. Contract Connection (CC) uses Inventory Manager, Cisco.com, and Cisco's internal contract
tracking service, Contract Agent, to provide the status of your service coverage.
You must have a Cisco.com account to use CC and CC lists all contracts applicable to you.
You can select any of the contracts to get the contract details for the IOS devices belonging to that
particular contract in your network.
