Software, Feature, and Feature Upgrade Licenses

Software on the Cisco 7200 and 7500 Series offers three distinctly different types of software licensing.

This document describes the differences between software licenses, software feature licenses, and software feature

upgrade licenses as well as when to order them, how they are used, and how they have been combined and simplified.

Cisco IOS Software License is commonly referred to as Cisco IOS Software. This type of license includes the right

to use a particular software release and feature set on one router. For example, the Cisco IOS Release 12.2(7)T

Enterprise feature set for Cisco 7500 series platform, ordered as S75A-12207T, corresponds to the software image

called rsp-jsv-mz.12207T.

Another type of license, Cisco IOS Software Feature License, is commonly referred to as a Feature License. In some

cases, additional value-added functionality is provided in software images but not covered by the “base” Cisco IOS

Software License. The right to use these features is offered through a feature license. For example, to use NetFlow

Switching on a Cisco 7200 series platform, the WAN Packet Protocol/NetFlow Feature License, FR-WPP72, is

required.

A feature license conveys the right to use a feature, but it cannot add a feature to a software release that does

not support it. For example, purchasing a WAN Packet Protocols/NetFlow license for software release 11.0 will not

upgrade the software to support NetFlow. Choose a software release that supports all required features, then choose

any necessary feature licenses.

Examples of feature licenses and the functionality rights they include are listed in Table 1. A complete listing of

feature licenses available on the 7200 and 7500 series platforms are listed in Tables 2 and 3 respectively.
