How to install Cisco License

Step 1 — Verify prerequisites: Ensure your Cisco MOD80 linecard is in a supported hardware state, has an active support contract if required by your SKU, and is connected to the network with access to the Cisco Licensing Portal or distributor license delivery channel. Confirm you have the correct license SKU and license key or file corresponding to your MOD80 unit.

Step 2 — Obtain the license: Retrieve the license entitlement from your distributor or the official procurement channel. The license is typically delivered as a digital key or license file associated with the MOD80 SKU. Store the license securely and confirm the exact SKU matches your MOD80 model and software version.

Step 3 — Access the license management interface: Log in to the MOD80 management console or Cisco Licensing Portal as dictated by your deployment. Navigate to the licensing section, where you can add or activate new licenses. If your deployment uses an on-device activation workflow, prepare the command sequence or GUI path required to apply the license.

Step 4 — Apply and activate the license: Enter the license key exactly as provided or upload the license file. Initiate the activation process and monitor for a confirmation that the license has been applied successfully. Some deployments may require a device restart or service reload to enable new features.

Step 5 — Verify license status: After activation, verify the license status through the management interface or CLI. Check enabled features, policy options, and any analytics or monitoring modules associated with the MOD80 license. Look for messages indicating successful activation and no license conflicts.

Step 6 — Validate operation: Confirm that enabled features function as expected by running a quick test: policy enforcement, telemetry collection, and administrative tasks should reflect the new capabilities. If applicable, revalidate alerting thresholds and dashboards to ensure accurate reporting now that the license is active.
