Introduction to Smart Licensing Using Policy
Smart Licensing Using Policy is an enhanced version of Smart Licensing, with the overarching objective of
providing a licensing solution that does not interrupt the operations of your network, rather, one that enables
a compliance relationship to account for the hardware and software licenses you purchase and use.
Smart Licensing Using Policy is supported starting with Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.2a.
The primary benefits of this enhanced licensing model are:
• Seamless day-0 operations
• Consistency in Cisco IOS XE
• Visibility and manageability
• Flexible, time series reporting to remain compliant

After a license is ordered, no preliminary steps, such as registration or generation of keys etc., are required
unless you use an export-controlled or enforced license. There are no export-controlled or enforced
licenses on Cisco Catalyst Access, Core, and Aggregation Switches, and product features can be configured
on the device right-away.
Campus and industrial ethernet switching, routing, and wireless devices that run Cisco IOS XE software,
have a uniform licensing experience.
Tools, telemetry and product tagging, to know what is in-use.
Easy reporting options are available, whether you are directly or indirectly connected to Cisco Smart
Software Manager (CSSM), or in an air-gapped network.
