Contents 
These release notes describe the following topics:
Introduction
Cisco License Manager is a software application that assists you in obtaining licenses from Cisco, 
deploying the licenses to the Cisco devices in your network, discovering the devices, and managing and 
viewing your inventory of licenses and devices. Cisco License Manager is used with Cisco devices that 
require Cisco licensing. New or upgraded Cisco devices should be registered, and a product 
authorization key (PAK) must be provided to obtain licenses from Cisco.
This application provides the following two external interfaces that enable you to perform several 
licensing tasks from a central location:
Application programming interface (API)—A programmatic interface that enables client programs 
to invoke functions implemented on the back-end server, allowing you to integrate Cisco License 
Manager into your systems. You can also use the API to write custom programs to perform your 
licensing tasks using either Java or Perl.
