Cisco Cisco Clean Access 3.5

To evaluate the Cisco Clean Access product, an official PAK is not required. An evaluation license 
enables:

1 Clean Access Manager (CAM) 

1 In-Band (IB) Clean Access Server (CAS)

1 Out-of-Band (OOB) Clean Access Server (CAS)

1 IB failover CAS

1 OOB failover CAM

You do not need to submit MAC addresses for your machines to obtain an evaluation license. Use the 
following steps to obtain and install an evaluation license file.

It is recommended to obtain a permanent license file before continuing with full-scale deployment. 
Evaluation licenses are intended for trial purposes and expire after 30 days. Once a license expires, the 
elements of Cisco Clean Access will not be able to start. Contact a Cisco representative to purchase a 
permanent license.

Register to obtain a 30-day evaluation license from the Product Evaluation License Cisco Technical 
Support site: 

After registering, the evaluation license file is generated and sent to you via email. Save the evaluation 
license file you receive to disk. 

Install the Cisco Clean Access software as described in 

 and Chapter 2, “Installing the Clean Access Server” in the Cisco Clean Access Server 

Installation and Administration Guide. 

After software installation, access the Clean Access Manager web admin console by opening a web 
browser and entering the IP address of the CAM as the URL. The Clean Access Manager License form 
(

) will appear the first time you do this to prompt you to install your FlexLM license file. 

Browse to your saved evaluation license file and install it in the Clean Access Manager License File 
field. 

Go to Administration > CCA Manager > Licensing (

) to view the days remaining for your 

evaluation period. 

If you are an existing customer, you can continue to use your existing license key and upgrade to other 
non-Switch Management (OOB) features of release 3.5. In this case, use the lower portion (Non PAK) 
of the Clean Access Manager License form (

) to enter and re-enter your product license key. 

However, note that if you want to enable Cisco Clean Access Out-of-Band, you will have to obtain a 
PAK by purchasing the software CD package. 

If you did not receive a PAK with your purchase, you must email Cisco Licensing at 

 for a product license key. You should include your sales order number and MAC 

addresses of your Clean Access Manager and Servers in your email. Once you receive the product license 
key, submit the key string in the Enter Product License and Re-Enter Product License fields of the 
Clean Access Manager License form to access the web admin console.
