Chapter 2 Licensing
Feature Overview
Feature Overview
The Cisco ASR 901 router license is similar to any other software license in Cisco. It is tied to the
Unique Device Identifier (UDI) —where the license is integrated to the PID (Product Identifier) and SN
(Serial Number). A license generated for one router cannot be shared or installed in any other router.
Complete these steps to obtain the license file:
1. Purchase the required Product Authorization Key (PAK).
2. Get the UDI from the device.
3. Enter the UDI and PAK in the Cisco’s licensing portal.
You will receive a license file through email.
4. Install the licenses on the device. For more information on how to install the license, see Installing
the License, page 2-11.
In addition to using the router CLI, you can install the license using the Cisco License Manager (CLM)
or the Callhome interface.
