Cisco Cisco Clean Access 3.5

Cisco Clean Access (3.5) uses a licensing mechanism based on the industry standard FlexLM license 
manager product. This allows for the support of flexible licensing schemes. The licensing status page in 
the web admin console (Administration > CCA Manager > Licensing) allows administrators to install 
FlexLM license files, view the set of features associated with the license, and remove FlexLM licenses.

To purchase Cisco® Clean Access Out-of-Band (the Switch Management features of release 3.5), you 
must use the FlexLM licensing model. 

This section describes the following:

Use the following steps to obtain and install your FlexLM license files. 

With FlexLM licensing, you will receive a Product Authorization Key (PAK) for each software CD 
package that you purchase. 

The PAK is NOT the Cisco Clean Access license. The PAK is used to obtain the Clean Access license.

Log in as a registered CCO user and fill out the Customer Registration form found at the PAK Cisco 
Technical Support site: 

. During the customer registration, submit each 

PAK you received and the MAC address of your Clean Access Manager (CAM) as follows:

For CAM, or CAS, or CAS Failover (HA) licenses, submit the CAM (primary) eth0 address. 

For CAM Failover (HA) license only, submit the eth0 address of the secondary CAM. 

Please follow the instructions on the license web pages carefully to ensure that the correct MAC 
addresses are entered. 

Save each 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 files.
