Getting Software Licenses for the Router
The Integrated Services Router Generation 2 (ISR G2) platforms offer a new Universal
Cisco Internet Operating System (IOS) software image. The Universal image and its licensing
provisions provide greater flexibility to deploy new features while also improving visibility and
management of existing licenses on routers in the network.
When you order a new ISR G2, it is shipped with the software image and the corresponding permanent
licenses for the packages and features that you specified, preinstalled. The software does not need to be
activated or registered prior to use.
Use the Cisco management application such as Cisco License Manager (CLM), or use the Cisco IOS
command show license feature to determine the licenses activated on your system.
The router comes with an evaluation license, also known as a temporary license, for most packages and
features supported on the router. To try a new software package or feature, activate the evaluation license
for that package or feature.
