Monitoring Smart License Status

The Smart License Status section of the System > Licenses > Smart Licenses page provides an overview of license usage on the management center, as described below.

Usage Authorization

Possible status values are:

  • In-compliance (in-compliance icon) — All licenses assigned to managed devices are in compliance and the management center is communicating successfully with the Smart Software Manager.

  • License is in compliance but communication with licensing authority has failed— Device licenses are in compliance, but the management center is not able to communicate with the Cisco licensing authority.

  • Out-of-compliance icon or unable to communicate with License Authority— One or more managed devices is using a license that is out of compliance, or the management center has not communicated with the Smart Software Manager in more than 90 days.

Product Registration

Specifies the last date when the management center contacted the Smart Software Manager and registered.

Assigned Virtual Account

Specifies the Virtual Account under the Smart Account that you used to generate the Product Instance Registration Token and register the management center. If this deployment is not associated with a particular virtual account within your Smart Account, this information is not displayed.

Export-Controlled Features

If this option is enabled, you can deploy restricted features. For details, see Licensing for Export-Controlled Functionality.

Cisco Success Network

Specifies whether you have enabled Cisco Success Network for the management center. If this option is enabled, you provide usage information and statistics to Cisco which are essential to provide you with technical support. This information also allows Cisco to improve the product and make you aware of unused available features so that you can maximize the value of the product in your network.
