Cisco Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Version 8.6 Guía De Instalación

Cisco Smart Software Licensing is a standardized licensing platform that facilitates you to deploy and 
manage Cisco software licenses easily and quickly. Cisco Smart Software Licensing establishes a pool 
of software licenses that can be used across your network in a flexible and automated manner. It also 
provides visibility to your purchased and deployed licenses in your network. Cisco Smart Software 
Licensing removes the need for Product Activation Keys (PAKs) and reduces your license activation and 
registration time.

You must have a valid account in Cisco Smart Manager to configure smart licensing for Cisco Unified 
SIP Proxy. By logging into your account in Cisco Smart Manager, you can generate token ID for Cisco 
Unified SIP Proxy. The generated token ID is unique to your account and it is mandatory to provide the 
generated token ID during license registration. The Cisco Unified SIP Proxy (Smart Agent) contacts the 
Cisco Smart Manager (Cisco Datacentre) using Call Home or HTTP protocol and configures the license. 
Smart licenses can be configured using either Graphical User Interface (GUI) or Command Line 
Interface (CLI). 

Once the smart licensing is enabled and configured using GUI or CLI, the Cisco Unified SIP Proxy sends 
the entitlement tag, token ID and other required information to the Smart Agent and registers with the 
Smart Manager (cloud server). The registration is valid for a period of one year. If the registration fails, 
then Cisco Unified SIP Proxy moves to evaluation mode. In evaluation mode, all features are supported 
for 90 days. Cisco Unified SIP Proxy stops working after the evaluation period.

After successful registration, the license count and other necessary details are sent to the Smart Manager 
for authorization. If the authorization is successful, the Cisco Unified SIP Proxy is in authorized state. 
If the requested number of licenses is within the purchased license count, Licensing Agent state moves 
to InCompliance state. If the requested number of licenses is more than the purchased licenses, Licensing 
Agent state moves to OutofCompliance state. The calls are allowed in OutofCompliance mode for a 
period of 90 days.

The authorization is renewed automatically every 30 days without the intervention of the users. In case 
the authorization renewal fails for 90 days, Cisco Unified SIP Proxy moves to the authorization expiry 
state. In this state all the calls are rejected and smart agent retries to renew the authorization every four 
hours.

You can upgrade your system from Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 9.x to Release 9.1.x.

A clean install wipes out all configuration and data; therefore, you must back up your configuration first. 
After you install the new system, you restore the configuration and data. Use the information in this 
section along with the other configuration sections in this guide. 

Although a best effort has been made to ensure backward compatibility, we recommend that you 
thoroughly inspect the backed up configuration to ensure that the data was not compromised.
