Figure 1 shows how the Cisco License Call Home feature interfaces to the Cisco licensing back-end
system. The architecture shown in Figure 1 allows the use of the License Call Home EXEC commands
to communicate with the Cisco licensing infrastructure and to perform administrative license operations.
Figure 1 Cisco License Call Home Interface
The Cisco License Call Home feature works as a client-server model with each transaction completed as
a separate connection to the Cisco licensing infrastructure. The Cisco License Call Home feature
displays prompts to obtain required information and then connects to the Cisco licensing back end to
interact with the Cisco licensing infrastructure. A Cisco License Call Home EXEC command initiates a
request, and the Cisco licensing infrastructure provides the response. The processes designed into the
Cisco License Call Home architecture manage the transport of information that provides the URL
required to connect to the Cisco licensing infrastructure over the Internet and to create a session.
