Licențiere inteligentă

• Dynamic licensing. Licenses are associated with products and transferable within the virtual account.
• No license installation is necessary. The device initiates an HTTPS call home session and requests the licenses that it is configured to use.
• License pools are account-specific. Any device in your company can use them.
• Licenses can be transferred between product instances without any software installation. You can transfer unused licenses from one virtual account to another.

Licențiere inteligentă
Smart licenses are server-based licenses. You will purchase, deploy, and track licenses for servers instead of domains. Instead of registering individual products with license files or PAKs, Smart Licensing provides the option to create a pool of licenses that can be used across your company’s portfolio.

Smart licensing uses Virtual Accounts, Product Instances, and Registration Tokens to procure, deploy, own,n, and manage licenses in your environment.

Conturi virtuale
Virtual accounts are collections of licenses and product instances. You can create virtual accounts in Cisco Smart Software Manager to organize the licenses for your company into logical entities. You can use virtual accounts to organize licenses by business unit, product type, IT group, or whatever makes sense for your organization. For exampDacă vă segregați compania în diferite regiuni geografice, puteți crea un cont virtual pentru fiecare regiune pentru a deține licențele și instanțele de produs pentru acea regiune.

All new licenses and product instances are placed in a virtual account. You choose the virtual account when you register a product instance. You can transfer existing licenses or product instances from one virtual account to another.

For more information on creating virtual accounts in Cisco Smart Software Manager, see http://www.cisco.com/web/ordering/smart-software-manager/docs/smart-software-manager-user-guide.pdf.

Instanțe de produs
A Cisco UCS Central product instance has a unique device identifier (UDI) that is registered using a product instance registration token. You can register several instances of a product with a single registration token. Each product instance can have one or more licenses that reside in the same virtual account.

Registration Tokens
Registration tokens are stored in the Product Instance Registration Token Table that is associated with your smart account. After you enable Smart Licensing in Cisco UCS Central, you can generate a new token in a virtual account on the Smart Software Licensing portal to register in Cisco UCS Central.
