Security and Virtualization

Cisco License Manager user-security model supports role-based access control and provides the following five

user roles:

●

Administrator: Can access all functionality

●

Inventory Manager: Can update inventory, device access information, and all functionality available to

roles below it

●

PAK Manager: Can view and manage PAKs and all functionality available to roles below it

●

License Manager: Can obtain and deploy licenses and all functionality available to roles below it

●

Reports Manager: Can only view and generate license reports

Cisco License Manager allows you to restrict access to managed devices and PAKs through access control lists for

each user. Cisco License Manager instance(s) running on VMware are not currently supported.

Obtain Licenses from Cisco.com

With a Cisco supplied PAK, you can associate feature SKUs with devices and securely connect to the Cisco.com

license server to automatically get license keys. This reduces the complexity associated with software activation.

You can also obtain licenses for pre-deployed or offline devices.

Cisco License Manager resides at the customer premises and has access to the customer network and needs

Internet connectivity to Cisco.com for many of its features.

For isolated networks, it supports two-stage license deployment where customers can move Cisco License

Manager to a network domain with Internet connectivity, and obtain and save licenses to its database by securely

communicating with the license server at Cisco.com. Cisco License Manager can then be moved back to the

original isolated network domain to deploy previously obtained licenses to network devices. Please see the

Deploying Cisco License Manager in Isolated Networks white paper located at

for

more details.

Rapid License Deployment

Simple rule-based policy language completely automates software activation and license management. You can

create a simple rule-based policy using common device attributes such as device model, device group, and IP

address range, and assign a PAK to this policy. This policy can be executed on an on-demand basis, and Cisco

License Manager will automatically obtain and deploy the appropriate licenses to the managed devices, matching

against the rules in the policy. This helps enable you to focus more on rolling out advanced services in your

network, using the licensed features.

Transfer Licenses from One Device to Another

You can rehost your licenses by selecting the source and destination devices. Cisco License Manager simplifies

this procedure by securely obtaining rehost permission from Cisco.com, revoking the license from the source

device, and obtaining and installing the transferred license to the destination device, as well as installing a

temporary license for the feature being transferred, to give you enough time to migrate all connections or traffic to

the destination device.
