[c-nsp] ASR920 Port Licensing

Another member just sent a question about smart licensing, and it got me thinking that I should post my current issue here and see if anyone has seen this before, or if I'm crazy (or Cisco is). Last summer I purchased 6 ASR920-12SZ-D routers/switches. These are the ones with 12 10-gig ports. Des

Interesting. It is full of surprises. So that brings up the next question. what happens when someone upgrades the IOS and the licensing model changes? I can definitely see a situation where that happens and ports that used to be in service are now unlicensed. That'll be a fun one to trouble

Re: [c-nsp] ASR920 Port Licensing

I refuse to buy in to ’Smart Licensing’ and ‘Port Licensing’. So far, we have been able to avoid buying from vendors who practice such anti-customer policies. I refuse to buy products with licensing schemes that require the equipment to ‘phone home’ or where a vendor through an error could rem

Re: [c-nsp] ASR920 Port Licensing

Nicolas, Is this already ordered? If so, license generation takes minutes and something is wrong. Do you have TAC case with GLO (Global Licensing Team)? Please provide me with the box information and TAC/GLO case if you have it, I’ll check what’s going on (to lbromirs-at-cisco.com
