NCS License Information
NCS is deployed through a physical or virtual appliance. Use the standard License Center Graphical
User Interface to add new licenses, which are locked by the standard Cisco Unique Device Identifier
(UDI). When NCS is deployed on a virtual appliance, the licensing is similar to a physical appliance,
except instead of using a UDI, you use a Virtual Unique Device Identifier (VUDI). The NCS license is
recognized by the SKU, which is usually attached to every purchase order to clearly identify which
software or package is purchased by a customer.
