Tip The Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool provides detailed illustrations and descriptions
showing where to locate serial number labels on Cisco products. The Cisco Product
Identification tool can be accessed at http://tools.cisco.com/Support/CPI/index.do.
The UDI can be viewed using the show license udi command in privileged Exec mode.

Evaluation License
Your router comes with the evaluation license, also known as a temporary license, for most packages and
features supported on your router. If you want to try a new software package or feature, activate the
evaluation license for that package or feature.

Tip Use the show license feature command to view the technology package licenses and feature licenses
supported on your router.
The Cisco 1900, 2900, and 3900 series ISRs support the following universal images:
• universalk9—offers all IOS features supported by next generation ISRs.
• universalk9_npe—does not support VPN payload and secure voice functionality and satisfies import
considerations for CIS countries.
Table 1 lists the image names for the Cisco 1900 series, 2900 series, and 3900 series routers.

Evaluation licenses are replaced with Evaluation Right To Use licenses. Evaluation Right to Use licenses
automatically become Right to Use licenses after the initial evaluation period. Follow the steps detailed
in this section to activate an Evaluation Right to Use license.
To activate an evaluation license in the Cisco 3900 series, 2900 series, and 1900 series routers, perform

RTU Migration
This section describes customer scenarios with regard to migrating to Existing or Lifetime RTU release
and recommends actions to take before upgrading.
The initial version of RTU release (Existing RTU) contains built-in evaluation licenses valid for 12 years
and Lifetime RTU licenses that are similar to permanent licenses, in that they are built into the IOS image
and avoid the overhead of license installation.
Note Permanent licenses are not affected by any IOS release upgrade.
The first course of action is to consider what release your router is running and then follow the
recommended actions if any. This section contains the following topics:
• RTU Releases, page 37
• Global EULA Acceptance, page 38
• RTU Migration Paths, page 39
• Lifetime RTU (After Migration), page 41

RTU Releases
The IOS software releases to consider are categorized as follows:
• Preceding RTU
• Existing RTU
• Lifetime RTU
Preceding RTU
Preceding RTU releases are customers’ running IOS releases with 60 days of evaluation licenses. These
include the following releases:
• 15.0(1)M; 15.0(1)M1; 15.0(1)M2; 15.0(1)M3
• 15.1(1)T; 15.1(1)T1
• 15.1(2)T; 15.1(2)T1
• Any 12.4T release
Customers running these releases with evaluation licenses and planning to upgrade to Existing or
Lifetime RTU releases are affected. They should follow the recommended actions specified under
Preceding RTU to Existing/Lifetime migration paths.
Existing RTU
Initial RTU support was provided in the Existing RTU releases listed below:
• 15.0(1)M4; 15.0(1)M5
• 15.1(1)T2; 15.1(1)T3
• 15.1(2)T2; 15.1(2)T3
• 15.1(3)T; 15.1(3)T1
• 15.1(4)M
Such arrangement basically provided 12-year evaluation licenses and was intended to be a temporary
solution until Lifetime RTU support was available. This temporary RTU solution provided immediate
relief for customers facing licensing-related overhead.
If you are running Existing RTU releases and planning to upgrade to Lifetime RTU releases, please
follow the recommended actions specified under Existing RTU to Lifetime RTU migration paths.

This procedure covers customers running IOS Preceding RTU releases with evaluation licenses that have
not expired and wishing to migrate to Existing or Lifetime RTU releases.
The Existing/Lifetime RTU license keys have changed and require re-acceptance of the end user license
agreement. A migration performed without the recommended upgrade procedure results in a loss of
functionality related to features that relied on the presence of Preceding RTU license.

Before upgrading, perform the following steps:
Step 1 On the Preceding RTU router, save the startup-config to a location of your choice—it could be a compact
flash, tftp server, etc. Note: If any other configuration is required before upgrade, this must be completed
and the configuration should be saved before proceeding with this step. The example below is for a tftp
server.
Router# copy startup-config tftp://<tftp_server>/<user_id>/startup-config
Step 2 Edit the startup-config and add the “license accept end user agreement” as shown below in bold right
after the “license udi pid ….” entry.
license udi pid C3900-SPE250/K9 sn FHH1313001U
license accept end user agreement
Step 3 Copy the startup-config back to the Preceding RTU router. The example below is for tftp a server.
Router# copy tftp://<tftp_server>/<user_id>/startup-config startup-config
This procedure covers customers running IOS Existing RTU releases with Eval/RTU licenses and
wishing to upgrade to Lifetime RTU releases.
The Lifetime RTU license keys have changed and require re-acceptance of the end user license
agreement. A migration performed without the recommended upgrade procedure results in a loss of
functionality related to features that relied on the presence of Existing RTU release license.

Before upgrading, perform the following steps:
Note If the global “license accept end user agreement” has already been performed on the Existing RTU
release router, then Steps 1 and 2 can be skipped.
Step 1 On the Existing RTU release router, configure the global end user license agreement:
Router#(config) license accept end user agreement

RMA License Transfer
After approximately 60 days, the Lifetime RTU license transitions to “RightToUse” without any further
customer intervention. Syslogs and Traps are sent 10 days and 5 days before transition and on the actual
day of transition to provide notice of pending/completion of license transition. After the transition, the
show CLI output displays “RightToUse” for the License Type. An example of this output is shown below.
Router# show license
Index 4 Feature: datak9
Period left: Life time
License Type: RightToUse
License State: Active, In Use
License Count: Non-Counted
License Priority: Low
Note You need the UDI of the defective as well as the RMA router to initiate an RMA replacement license.
Note To transfer a software license from a Cisco 3925 or Cisco 3945 ISR, use the SN and PID from the service
performance engine (SPE) and not the chassis.
Note An RMA router is the router that is sent back to the manufacturer for RMA, while an RMA replacement
router is a new router from the manufacturer.

Step 1 It is assumed that the startup-config was already saved, for example to a tftp server, compact flash, etc.,
before the router was sent for RMA. The example shown below is for a tftp server:
Router# copy startup-config tftp://<tftp_server>/<user_id>/startup-config
Step 2 Edit the saved startup-config with any text editor of your choice. Add the “license accept end user
agreement” as shown below right after the “license udi pid...” line.
license accept end user agreement
Step 3 Copy the startup-config to your RMA replacement router as running config. This step is to bring back
your configured licenses from the RMA router. Note that some configurations have been thrown out,
although the objective here is to restore the licenses only. The example shown below is for a tftp server:
Router# copy tftp://<tftp_server>/<user_id>/startup-config running-config
Step 1 Copy the startup-config to RMA replacement router as running config. This step will restore all the
configurations. The example shown below is for a tftp server:
Router# copy tftp://<tftp_server>/<user_id>/startup-config running-config
For additional information on RMA license transfer, see the Cisco Software Activation Conceptual
Overview chapter in Cisco IOS Software Activation Configuration Guide.
