Registering a Device on CSSM
To register a device on CSSM, you must do the following tasks:
1. Generate a unique token from the CSSM.
2. Register the device with the generated token.
On successful registration, the device will receive an identity certificate. This certificate is saved on your
device and automatically used for all future communications with Cisco. CSSM will attempt to renew the
registration information every 30 days.
Additionally, license usage data is collected and a report is sent to you every month. If required, you can
configure your Call Home settings to filter out sensitive information (like hostname, username and password)
from the usage report.
Downgrading a device from Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1 to any prior release will migrate the smart license to
traditional license. All smart license information on the device will be removed. In case the device needs to
be upgraded back to Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1, the license status will remain in evaluation mode until the
device is registered again in CSSM.
