Product Overview 

Cisco License Manager is a secure client/server-based application to manage Cisco IOS Software activation and 

license management for a wide range of Cisco platforms running Cisco IOS Software as well as other operating 

systems. It automates the workflow associated with Cisco IOS Software activation through its wizard-based GUI 

and scales for large network deployments. Cisco License Manager accelerates deployment of feature licenses with 

its intuitive GUI and simple, rule-based policy interface, helping enable you to rapidly roll out advanced services in 

your networks. 

Cisco License Manager has enhanced security, with role-based access control, and it limits access for each user to 

managed devices and Product Authorization Keys (PAKs) through Access Control Lists (ACLs). Improved reporting 

capabilities aid in audit compliance.
