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 3.1 offers an optional, full-functionality Java-based Software Development Kit (SDK) for
integration with your existing license and asset management products and protects your investment in these
assets. In addition, Cisco License Manager 3.1 integrates and coexists with CiscoWorks LAN Management
Solution (LMS) 3.1 and later, and with Cisco Configuration Professional.
Cisco License Manager has enhanced security, with role-based access control, and it limits access for each user
