Information About LicensingLicensing allows you to access specified premium features on the device after you install the appropriate
license for that feature.
Feature-Based Licenses
Feature-based licenses make features available to the entire physical device, so you only need one copy of
the license for a device. Each license only supports the listed features. Licenses may be specific to a particular
hardware platform.
Any feature not included in a license package is bundled with the Cisco NX-OS software and is provided at
no extra charge to you.
The Cisco Nexus 9300 and 9500 Series switches support static routes, switch virtual interfaces (SVIs),
Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), and Routing Information Protocol (RIP) by default (without any
license).
Note
The licenses are independent of each other. If you want to use features that are covered by different licenses,
you must install all appropriate licenses.
This table lists the feature-based license packages for the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series, which includes Cisco
Nexus 9500 switches and Cisco Nexus 9300 switches, in Cisco NX-OS mode.

Module-based licenses make features available to one module on the physical device, so you need one copy
of the license for each module that you want to enable the features on. Each license only supports the listed
features. Licenses may be specific to a particular hardware platform or module.
Any feature not included in a license package is bundled with the Cisco NX-OS software and is provided
at no extra charge to you.

The licenses are independent of each other. If you want to use features that are covered by different licenses,
you must install all appropriate licenses. For example, if you want to use EIGRP and VDCs on the Cisco
Nexus 7000 Series, you must install both the Enterprise Services Package license and the Advanced
Services Package license.

Licensing TerminologyThe following terms are used in this document:
Licensed feature
Permission to use a particular feature through a license file, a hardware object, or a legal contract. This
permission is limited to the number of users, number of instances, time span, and the implemented
device.
Licensed application
A software feature that requires a license to be used.
License enforcement
A mechanism that prevents a feature from being used without first obtaining a license.
Node-locked license
A license that can only be used on a particular device using the device s unique host ID.
Host IDs
A unique chassis serial number that is specific to each device.
Cisco NX-OS Licensing Guide 17
Licensing Cisco NX-OS Software Features
Licensing Terminology
7/25/2019 b Cisco NX-OS Licensing Guide
34/50
Software license claim certificate
A document entitling its rightful owner to use licensed features on one device as described in that
document.
Product Authorization Key (PAK)
The PAK allows you to obtain a license key from one of the sites listed in the software license claim
certificate document. After registering at the specified website, you will receive your license key file
and installation instructions through e-mail.
License key file
A device-specific unique file that specifies the licensed features. Each file contains digital signatures
to prevent tampering and modification. License keys are required to use a licensed feature. License
keys are enforced within a specified time span.
Missing license
If the bootflash has been corrupted or a supervisor module replaced after you have installed a license,
that license shows as missing. The feature still works. You should reinstall the license as soon as
possible.
Evaluation license
A temporary license. Evaluation licenses are time bound (valid for a specified number of days) and are
tied to a host ID (device serial number).
Permanent license
A license that is not time bound is called a permanent license.
Grace period
The amount of time the features in a license package can continue functioning without a license.
Support
If you purchased Cisco support through a Cisco reseller, contact the reseller directly. If you purchasedsupport directly from Cisco, contact Cisco Technical Support at this URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/
US/support/tsd_cisco_worldwide_contacts.html
Licensing Virtualization SupportOn the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series, you install and manage licenses on the physical device in the default virtual
device context (VDC 1). Licenses apply to features in all VDCs and Virtual Routing and Forwarding instances
(VRFs) on the physical device. You do not need to obtain a separate license for each VDC or VRF. For more
information on VDCs, see theCisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Virtual Device Context Configuration Guide.
Licensing High AvailabilityAs with other Cisco NX-OS features, the licensing feature also maintains the following high-availability
standards:
Installing any license in the device is a nondisruptive process.

35/50
Installing a license automatically saves a copy of permanent licenses to the chassis.
If you have enabled the grace period feature, enabling a licensed feature that does not have a license key
starts a counter on the grace period. You then have 120 days to install the appropriate license keys,
disable the use of that feature, or disable the grace period feature. If at the end of the 120-day grace
period the device does not have a valid license key for the feature, the Cisco NX-OS software
automatically disables the feature and removes the configuration from the device.
The Cisco Nexus 9000 Series and Cisco Nexus 3000 Series do not support the grace
period feature.
Note
Some licenses, for example Cisco TrustSec for the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series or Layer
3 Enterprise Services for the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series, do not have a grace period.
Note
Devices with dual supervisors have the following additional high-availability features:
The license software runs on both supervisor modules and provides failover protection.
The license key file is mirrored on both supervisor modules. Even if both supervisor modules fail, the
license file continues to function from the version that is available on the chassis.
License InstallationYou can either obtain a factory-installed license (only applies to new device orders) or perform a manual
license installation of the license (applies to existing devices in your network).
Obtaining a Factory-Installed License
You can obtain factory-installed licenses for a new Cisco NX-OS device.
Procedure
Step 1 Contact your reseller or Cisco representative and request this service.
If you purchased Cisco support through a Cisco reseller, contact the reseller directly. If you purchased
support directly from Cisco, contact Cisco Technical Support at this URL: http://www.cisco.com/en

Note
Your device is shipped with the required licenses installed in the system.
Step 2 Start using the device and the licensed features.
