Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.x

Licensing changes (1 of 2) traditional licensing
Before Ordering Cisco Prime Infrastructure (PI)
• Cisco Prime™ Infrastructure 3.x (PI 3.x) are now offered under one Cisco Enterprise Management 3.x License
• PI 3.x lifecycle and assurance licenses are now combined into a single management license
• These licenses are offered on a per-device basis (as in PI 1.x, 2.x) and are NOT node-locked
• They are available in single-device increments (no more PAKs of 25, 50, etc.)
• PI 3.x licenses are now linked to the category or sub-category of network devices (as in Cisco ONE™ Software)
Examples include L-MGMT3x-LFAS-AP, L-MGMT3x-LFAS-3K, etc
• Customers deploying Prime Infrastructure for the first time should purchase a Cisco Enterprise Management 3.x License as
described in this document
• Customers with a valid services contract on earlier versions of Prime Infrastructure (PI 2.x, 1.x, NCS 1.x etc.) can upgrade to PI 3.x
at no additional cost
• Customers without a valid services contract or with expired services contracts can purchase PI 1.x / 2.x to 3.x upgrade licenses
and then upgrade the PI 1.x or 2.x to a PI 3.x instance, as described in this document. They MUST attach services contract in
this case
• Customers with valid support contracts on PI 2.x or 1.x can upgrade to PI 3.x at no cost
• INLINE UPGRADE from PI 2.x to PI 3.1 is NOT SUPPORTED (Click here to download the upgrade instructions document)
ToC

Licensing changes/smart licensing support
• Beginning with PI 3.1 release, Prime Infrastructure licenses can be purchased using Smart Licenses.
• For more updates on Smart licensing refer Appendix M
• Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.1 and higher will support smart license usage
A single instance of Prime Infrastructure can run either in traditional licensing mode or smart licensing mode and not both
• If customers are running multiple instances of Prime Infrastructure, they are allowed to transition each of these servers at once or
in phases
• Customers running two or more instances of Prime Infrastructure in smart licensing mode can use “license pooling” functionality
across these servers

Using a Management Token as an Alternative to a Category-Specific Management License
ToC
Management Tokens
What They Are and How to Purchase Them
• Beginning with Prime™ Infrastructure 3.x, we introduced the concept of category-specific device licenses.
• Example: Lifecycle and Assurance (LF-AS) licenses for managing access points, Catalyst® switches, etc.
• This offers significant benefits to customers who want the ability to track their management license usage.
• This requires customers to take an approximate inventory of devices and their sub-categories, namely access points and switches
(Cisco® Catalyst 2000 and 3000 Series) prior to purchasing PI 3.x licenses.
• Some sales teams and partners feel that this might complicate the ordering process.
• As a result, we have introduced Management Tokens as an alternative to category-specific device licenses. Each PI 3.x
management token equates to one LF token and one AS token.
• PI 3.x device licenses are tamper-resistant, human-readable, and follow a common format. They contain the type of license (LF or
AS) and the number of managed devices and duration of validity (permanent or duration).
• Customers can purchase L-MGMT3X-TKN-K9= as an alternative to equivalent category-specific device licenses based on
the following:
• For 90% of devices: Access points (all models), switches (Catalyst 2000 and 3000), routers (ISR 1000, CSR 1000, 800 series).
One token equates to one device license (LF, AS pair)
• For all other devices: Switches (Catalyst 4000,6000, 9000 etc.), routers (ASR 1000, ISR 2000, 3000, 4000, etc.). Purchase “N”
number of tokens per device. Mapping is shown in the next slide.
ToC
Guidelines for Purchasing Management Tokens

• If the customer knows the mix of network devices that their PI will manage, they can use the mapping table (provided in
the next slide) to estimate and purchase the total number of tokens needed to manage those devices.
• If the customer does not know the mix of network device that their PI will manage, the recommendation is to purchase
130 tokens for every 100 devices they plan to manage with PI.
• In either case,
• The customer needs to know an approximate number of devices that they plan to manage with PI
• It is recommended that customers adjust the device quantity to accommodate for growth
in network devices
• If the customer needs to manage a Cisco® networking device (switch, router, access point) that is not on the list of
devices but is on the supported device list (link provided below), they can identify the device that is closest to another
device on the list shown in the next slide and purchase the corresponding number of tokens per device.

How to backup and save Prime Infra .Lic files?

• Customer doing Inline Upgrade (where possible), the .LIC files are automatically carried over the target version of PI; No
additional action is required to migrate the licenses to the upgraded PI instance
• Customer upgrading via Fresh Install (where possible) and if you are allowed to restore your full application backup from
previous version of PI, the .LIC files are automatically carried over the target version of PI; No additional action is required to
migrate the licenses to the upgraded PI instance
• In some situations, customer may want to start with a PI server with no data but use existing licenses from a PI instance
running a previous version of SW. In such situation, you can locate And copy .LIC files from that server and copy it over to
the newly installed PI server running the desired version of SW
• .Lic files are located in/opt/CSCOlumos/licenses directory

• At the system CLI prompt, cd to/opt/CSCOlumos/licenses
• Locate .Lic files and FTP to some known location on your desktop/laptop PC

Guidelines for License application (1 of 6)

Management Servers (e.g., LMS, WCS, NCS, PI and PI Operations Center) can only accept specific licenses.
Detailed list of SKUs that can run on a management server is show in the table on the next slide
Demo / Evaluation licenses and Permanent licenses cannot be mixed in most cases
(Exception) Demo / Evaluation Assurance licenses may be used with Permanent Lifecycle and BASE licenses
PI servers will accept licenses that are for current PI version and earlier versions (backward compatibility)
Node lock removed licenses can only be applied to PI 2.2 and higher versions of PI
A particular instance of a node lock removed license CANONLY be applied on a single PI server
On rare occasions, customers accidently purchase licenses for later versions of PI and want to run an older version
of PI; In such cases, customers can request licensing@cisco.com to downgrade their licenses
A single PI server can be run only with PI licenses or Operations Center Licenses and not both
PI servers with Operations Center Licenses will run as Operations Center
A single PI server instance either run in Traditional Licensing Mode or Smart Licensing Mode

How to upgrade from one PI version to a later version and attach services
support contract?
Customers with valid support contract on PI can upgrade from an earlier version to another later version of PI software at NO
ADDITIONAL COST
Customers with expired support contract or with no support contract can use upgrade licenses to upgrade from one version of PI
to later versions of PI software and attach support contract
Customers are strongly encouraged to attach Support Contract when purchasing Upgrade licenses
No License files are issued as part of the purchase of Upgrade part numbers or purchase of support on older part numbers
The existing licenses on their current PI servers will work with the later versions of PI software
Upgrade licenses can only be purchased by customers who have purchased the full product licenses in the past (e.g. Customers
with PI 1.x / 2.x licenses can purchase PI 3.x upgrade licenses)
Upgrade licenses purchased must have matching licenses in terms of device count on earlier versions
(e.g. Customers with 25 device Lifecycle license on PI 1.x / 2.x can only purchase 25 device upgrade license)
Customers can reach out to licensing@cisco.com to help manually generate these licenses. To allow Cisco Licensing to manually
generate these licenses, customers must show proof of ownership / purchase of the license that entitle them to upgrade using PUT
ToC

How licenses are treated when customers upgrade from one PI version to
later versions?
• When customers upgrade from NCS 1.0, PI 1.1/1.2/1.3/1.4, PI 2.1 to PI (PI 2.2, 3.x), the licenses (BASE, Lifecycle (LF), Assurance (AS) in
particular) from earlier versions of NCS or PI will work on later version of PI. (No additional action is required from customer side)
• Customers can add LFAS licenses (from PI 3.x or Cisco ONE purchases).
• When customers upgrade from PI 1.x or 2.x to PI 3.x version. the LF and AS licenses from earlier PI release will continue to work on PI 3.x.
(No additional action is required from customer side)
Until PI 2.2
LF and AS Licenses
• LF and AS licenses were offered with separate Part #s and offered in Packs of 25, 50, .. 15K device licenses only
Consumption model
• All managed devices (APs, Routers, and Switches and stacks) consumed just one LF and/or AS (where applicable) Licenses per device
Tokens vs License
• Each LF/AS/BASE device license translates to a single corresponding LF/AS Tokens and BASE license.
e.g., 25 device LF license (L-PI2X-LF-25 translates to 25 LF tokens
Licensing Dashboard on PI 3.1.3 and above can be used to display all the purchased and grandfathered tokens
Beginning with Cisco ONE (2.x and 3.x) and PI 3.0

LF and AS Licenses
• LF and AS licenses were offered in LF+AS Bundled Part #s. LF and AS licenses were no longer available for purchasing separately.
• LFAS license could be purchased in increment of 1 device license rather than having to purchase Packs of 25, 50 etc.
• Different LFAS licenses are offered for different device categories (e.g APs, Routers, Switches and sub categories (cat 2K, 4k etc)
ToC

How should customers attach missing Assurance (AS) licenses to existing PI
2.x or 3.x servers?
We recommend that the customer match Lifecycle (LF) and Assurance (AS) licenses
To make this process easier and cost effective to customers, we intend to keep the promotion part
numbers listed at 50% discount relative to full product part numbers
We are exploring ways to use any unused LF licenses (tokens) as Assurance (AS) licenses (tokens)
PI server will let customers know that customers need to match AS and LF licenses
ToC

How does the new consumption model in PI 3.x work?
License (Token) Consumption model beginning with 3.1.3

• Most management licenses (APs, ISR 1K Routers, and Cat 2K and 3K Switch licenses) convert to 1 LF token and 1 AS token
• These managed devices (APs, ISR 1K Routers, and Cat 2K and 3K Switch licenses) consume 1 token (LF and AS
(as applicable)) per device
• Other management licenses (ISR 2K, 3K, 4K, Cat 4K, 6K Switch licenses) convert to 2 or more LF and AS token pairs
• These managed devices (ISR 2K, 3K, 4K, Cat 4K, 6K Switch licenses) consume 2 or more LF and AS token pairs per device
• Stack of switches will now consume 1 license per stacked switch. (i.e., a stack of three Cat 3850s will consume three LF and
AS pairs
License Grandfathering Process (Automatic process and no action required on the part of customer)
• Customers can upgrade to 3.1.3 and above will not be required to purchase additional licenses to accommodate for new
consumption model. This above feature is enabled using an automatic grandfathering process.
• Using this process, Prime Infrastructure 3.1.3 will create and donate tokens where applicable
• A dashboard on PI 3.1.3 can be used to display all the purchased and grandfathered tokens
ToC

How should customers resolve licensing issues (license consolidation,
license split, redeem missing licenses?
Occasionally, customers request licensing@cisco.com to consolidate a bunch of smaller licenses into a
single license; Cisco licensing is generally given approval to oblige with the above requests.
Occasionally, customers request Cisco to split their large lifecycle license to multiple smaller chunks
(e.g Split 10 K licenses to 2 x 5 K licenses)
In these cases, customers must ensure that they have one BASE license for each of the individual instances
of PI server being deployed – they must purchase the necessary BASE license to satisfy this requirement.
ToC

How should customers resolve LMS and Compliance licensing issues?
• Occasionally, customers either misplace licenses or never redeem their PAKs for licenses.
Cisco licensing will generate these missing licenses and will require the customer to provide proof of purchase or
evidence that they upgraded using PUT tool.
• Ex 1. Customers purchased or upgraded from NCS 1.0 to PI 1.1 (with valid services contract) and did not redeem
LMS PAK and potentially misplaced the LMS PAK; They can come back to licensing@cisco.com at a later date and
request LMS licenses. Customers must how proof of upgrade.
• Ex 2. Customers upgraded from LMS 4.1 to 4.2 (via PUT) and did not redeem PI 1.1 PAK; They can come back to
licensing@cisco.com at a later date and request unredeemed PI licenses. Customers must show proof of upgrade.
• LMS 4.2 Licenses cannot be purchased independently and can only be purchased by purchasing
PI 1.x (where x <>0), PI 2.x.
• Customers purchasing PI 1.x (where x <> 0), PI 2.x get PI licenses and LMS 4.2 licenses (provided as a shadow
or duplicate license). Hence these LMS licenses cannot be again converted to PI licenses since it would amount to
“double dipping”.
ToC

How do customers get clarification on NCS WAN Licenses ?
• NCS WAN 1.1 Licenses were offered for customers purchasing PI 1.1 and these were only used to test router
management functionality on NCSWAN (a separate instance of NCS 1.x).
• Router management function on PI was integrated to main branch of PI and hence NCS WAN 1.1 has been
discontinued. Hence these NCS WAN 1.1 licenses cannot be again converted to PI licenses since this would also
amount to “double dipping”
ToC
Attaching/renewing Services Contract

How do customers attach services contract ?
• By purchasing support contracts, the customers benefit greatly by receiving free upgrades from one version of the
product to an another at no additional cost.
• They also receive world class/industry leading technical support
• A large majority of business customers purchase and regularly renew service contract for all Cisco products
• The support contracts are offered with various terms (1yr, 3yr, etc.) and conditions (5x8, 24x7, etc.)
• Customers are encouraged to select the terms and conditions that are most suitable for their business needs.
• Customers are responsible for attaching and periodically renewing support contracts per published
Cisco Guidelines
• Occasionally, customers let the support contract expire or try to attach contract past the EoS/EoL milestones.
In such cases, customers should purchase upgrade licenses and use that opportunity attach services contracts.
• The UPG SKUs are listed at 25% of list price of the full product. After applying the discounts, these upgrade SKUs
become very attractive alternative way to re-attach expired support contracts and missing support contracts and
enjoy the full benefits described above. You could view paying for upg SKUs as paying a “late fee” for attaching
services contract passed the deadline.

CCW Ordering scenarios

Customer Partner
PAK Based Licenses
• Smart Account assignment is optional but recommended since PAKs will automatically be available in LRP and visible
at the enterprise-wide level.
• The best practice is to assign the End Customer Smart Account at the time of order for the PAKs to be automatically
available in LRP. You can assign an end Customer Smart Account up until the order is fulfilled, which is usually 24-48
hours after the order is placed.
• Otherwise, PAKs can be assigned to the Smart Account post order in LRP so Customers can benefit from enterprise-
wide access control and visibility.
Smart Licenses
• Smart Account assignment is mandatory to submit the order. The Smart Licenses will be automatically activated and
available in SSM.
• Detailed Smart Account assignment scenarios will be covered later in this deck, but the initial order can be assigned
to either the Customer Smart Account or the Holding Smart Account and re-assigned to the Customer Smart Account
post order.
