Cisco License Manager facilitates collaboration by allowing policies created by one user to be
shared with other users.
Reduced Complexity
Cisco License Manager is a simple-to-install and easy-to-use application that automates the Cisco
IOS Software activation process. It can automatically discover the complete network using
customer-supplied parameters. Cisco License Manager securely communicates with the devices
running Cisco IOS Software to build advanced inventory of all licensed features deployed in the
network and provide detailed license reports. You simply need to add the PAKs received from
Cisco for the software features you have purchased, and the Cisco License Manager wizard-based
GUI guides you through the process of associating the features to network devices and vice versa
and automatically obtains the licenses by securely interacting with backend systems on the Cisco
Website (Figure 4). Please note that Cisco License Manager communicates to backend systems
on the Cisco Website only when you initiate Download PAK Info, Obtain License, and Resend
License operations. It does not send any customer network information to Cisco backend systems
except the device UDI, which is required for obtaining licenses.
