Management Tokens
What They Are and How to Purchase Them
Beginning with Prime
™ Infrastructure 3.0, we introduced the concept of category-specific device licenses.
•
Example: Lifecycle and Assurance (LF-AS) licenses for managing access points, Catalyst
®
switches, etc.
This offers significant benefits to customers who want the ability to track their management license usage.
This requires customers to take an approximate inventory of devices and their sub-categories, namely access points
and switches (Cisco
and switches (Cisco
®
Catalyst 2000 and 3000 Series) prior to purchasing PI 3.0 licenses.
Some sales teams and partners feel that this might complicate the ordering process.
As a result, we have introduced Management Tokens as an alternative to category-specific device licenses. Each
PI 3.0 management token equates to one LF token and one AS token.
PI 3.0 management token equates to one LF token and one AS token.
NCS 1.0, PI 1.x , 2.x, and 3.x device licenses are tamper-resistant, human-readable, and follow a common format. They
contain the type of license (LF or AS) and the number of managed devices and duration of validity (permanent or
duration).

Customers can purchase
L-MGMT3X-TKN-K9= as an alternative to equivalent category-specific device licenses based
on the following:
For 90% of devices: Access points (all models), switches (Catalyst 2000 and 3000), routers (ISR 1000, CSR 1000, 800
series). One token equates to one device license (LF, AS pair)
series). One token equates to one device license (LF, AS pair)
For all other devices: Switches (Catalyst 4000 and 6000, Nexus
®
2000 and 3000, etc.), routers (ASR 1000, ISR 2000,
3000, 4000, etc.). Purchase “N” number of tokens per device. Mapping is shown in the next slide.
