APPENDIX B
Chassis Universal License Requirements
This appendix describes the requirements for "universal" licenses that support Management I/O Universal
(UMIO) and Data Processing Universal (UDPC/UDPC2) card types. It also explores UMIO and UDPC/UDPC2
behavior in non-universal chassis or in chassis with a mix of non-universal MIOs and DPC/DPC2s, and
UMIOs and UDPC/UDPC2s.
Contact your Cisco account representative for detailed information regarding ASR 5500 license
requirements.

License Types
A chassis software license that enables universal card support is required when UMIOs and/or UDPC/UDPC2s
are installed. This license also specifies the maximum number of UDPC/UDPC2s that can run on the chassis
at the same time. Both active and standby UDPC/UDPC2s are counted against the maximum UDPC/UDPC2
limit.
UDPCs and UDPC2s must never be mixed in the same chassis. Data processing cards must all be of the
same type in a chassis. UDPC2s require StarOS Release 18.2+.
Important
The system automatically prevents a UDPC/UDPC2 from running if the maximum number of UDPC/UDPC2s
specified by the chassis license has been reached. If the maximum number of UDPC/UDPC2s are running
and there are additional UDPC/UDPC2s in the system, the system will automatically run another UDPC/UDPC2
only when one of the currently running UDPC/UDPC2s goes offline or restarts. However, the system will
not bring down currently active UDPC/UDPC2s due to an insufficient number of UDPC/UDPC2s specified
in the license.
