Example: SLR to Smart Licensing Using Policy
The following is an example of a Cisco Catalyst 9500 switch migrating from Specific License Reservation
(SLR) to Smart Licensing Using Policy. This is a High Availability set-up with an active and standby.
The license conversion is automatic and authorization codes are migratied. No further action is required to
complete migration. After migration the No Connectivity to CSSM and No CSLU, on page 102 topology is
effective. For information about the SLR authorization code in the Smart Licensing Using Policy environment,
see Authorization Code, on page 94.
• Table 14: SLR to Smart Licensing Using Policy: show Commands
• The CSSM Web UI After Migration, on page 133
• Reporting After Migration, on page 135
The show command outputs below call-out key fields to check, before and after migration.
