Q. What licensing method does Cisco Prime Network Registrar utilize?
A. Cisco Prime Network Registrar consists of four integrated components that can be ordered/purchased
individually or as part of one of two suites. The first suite, Cisco Prime Network Registrar DD, includes DHCP
and DNS. The second suite, Cisco Prime Network Registrar DDI, includes DHCP, DNS, and IPAM. The Cisco
Prime Network Registrar DNS caching server is only available as an individual component and not currently
offered in a suite.
Cisco Prime Network Registrar is licensed based on the number of IP nodes being supported (for DHCP
and/or IPAM) and/or Zone Resource Records (RRs) (for DNS). Users must first order a base license, which
includes the software media kit and a license for 1000 IP nodes/RRs. If the network has more than 1000 IP
nodes/RRs, users must order additional licenses to cover the remaining IP nodes/RRs. 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 license covers 1000 IP nodes for DHCP and 1000 RRs for DNS.
For additional licensing information, please reference the Ordering Guide for Cisco Prime Network Registrar
Version 8.2 on Cisco.com.
