Licensing Information

Cisco Prime Network Registrar DHCP and DNS (Authoritative) are licensed based on the number of IP node

leases (for DHCP) or zone resource records (RRs) (for DNS) being supported. Cisco Prime Network Registrar

IPAM license counts are based on the number of active IP addresses, meaning those IPv4 and IPv6 addresses

that are defined as type static and those active leases learned through the discovery processes.

For any individual component (except the DNS Caching Server) and any suite, users must first order a base

license, which includes the software media kit and a license for 1000 IP leases/RRs/active IP addresses. If the

network has more than 1000 IP leases/RRs/active IP addresses, users must order additional licenses to cover the

remaining IP nodes/RRs/active IP addresses. Similarly, when upgrading to Cisco Prime Network Registrar, users

can upgrade the Base license and then add additional licenses as necessary.

For the two suites, the license count applies to each service; for example, for the Cisco Prime Network Registrar

DD Base license, the Base license covers 1000 IP leases for DHCP and 1000 RRs for DNS.

For additional licenses above the base 1000 IP leases/RRs/active IP addresses, the two suites (Cisco Prime

Network Registrar DD and Cisco Prime Network Re

gistrar DDI) use the “IP node” terminology (where one IP node

equals a combination of one DHCP IP lease and four DNS authoritative resource records).

DHCP and DNS authoritative licenses are shared across a customer deployment; for example, features such as

redundancy and total license count can be spread across any number of local clusters on as many servers as

needed. Again, except for the DNS Caching Server, Cisco Prime Network Registrar is not licensed on a per server

basis. In addition, licensing is separate from high availability or failover, which are configuration issues. The

network administrator will issue through the regional server whatever numbers of licenses are needed per local

server/cluster. For example, for redundant DNS or DHCP servers, it is not required that each use exactly half of the

RR/IP lease count. The network administrator can determine and set the RR/IP lease license count for each,

mapping to the specific needs of each. For IPAM redundancy, duplicate licensing is not required.

For the DNS Caching Server, users will need a separate license for each server or virtual machine. Customers

running virtualized environments will require a unique license for each running instance of the DNS Caching

Server.
