Cisco Prime Network Registrar 8.3 Release Notes
Interoperability
The regional server which uses the PNR-SG license can be converted to PNR by installing the PNR license. Local cluster 
licenses will be converted automatically at the next compliance check, or can be manually updated by resynchronizing 
the local cluster.
For a given market segment license, only the counts from corresponding market segment license will apply. 
For example, if the PNR count license is applied when the PNR-SG base license is active, the Right to Use count will not 
be updated. If the PNR-SG count license is applied when the PNR base license is active, the Right to Use count will not 
be updated.
PNR Licenses
The PNR license provides all the features available for the Cisco Prime Network Registrar release you install. If your 
license set was issued for a release earlier than 8.1.2, it is a PNR license.

Note: 
Before you install Cisco Prime Network Registrar 8.3, review the system requirements and licensing in the Cisco 
Prime Network Registrar 8.3 Installation Guide.
Interoperability
Cisco Prime Network Registrar 8.3 uses individual component licenses. This allows users to purchase and install DHCP 
services, Authoritative DNS and Caching DNS services, and IPAM services individually, or as a suite.
When you purchase the full set of Cisco Prime Network Registrar components, you receive a license package for IPAM, 
and a separate license for Cisco Prime Network Registrar DHCP and DNS components (Authoritative and Caching DNS).
Customers ordering the DDI bundle would obtain a quantity one of the Caching DNS when they acquire the DNS 
authoritative license. If they need additional DNS caching licenses they are ordered based on Server count since DNS 
caching is a server based license.
To install and manage DHCP, DNS, and Caching DNS licenses, you must establish a regional server. The regional server 
is used to install, count, and manage licensing for these components. The Cisco Prime Network Registrar IPAM license 
is installed separately and does not use the regional server.
