Registering License Reservation

Before you begin

Make sure you have already installed the required license reservation (SLR or PLR) in Secure Email and Web Manager.

Note

You can also reserve the feature licenses using the license_smart > enable_reservation sub command in the CLI.

Procedure

Step 1

Go to System Administration > Smart Software Licensing page in Secure Email and Web Manager.

Step 2

Select the Specific/Permanent License Reservation option.

Step 3

Click Register.

Step 4

Click Copy Code to copy the request code.

Note
You need to use the request code in the CSSM portal to generate an authorization code.
Note
A system alert is sent every 24 hours to indicate that you need to install an authorization code.
Step 5

Click Next.

Note
The request code is canceled when you click the Cancel button. You cannot install the authorization code (generated in the CSSM portal) in Secure Email and Web Manager. Contact Cisco TAC to assist you in removing the reserved license after the request code is canceled in Secure Email and Web Manager.
Step 6

Go to the CSSM portal to generate an authorization code to reserve licenses for specific or all features.

Note
For more information on how to generate an authorization code, go to the Inventory: License Tab > Reserve Licenses section of the Help documentation at Smart Software Licensing Online Help (cisco.com).
Step 7

Paste the authorization code obtained from the CSSM portal in Secure Email and Web Manager in any one of the following ways:

  • Select the Copy and Paste authorizationc code option and paste the authorization code in the text box under the ‘Copy and Paste authorization code’ option.

  • Select the Upload authorization code from the system option and click Choose File to upload the authorization code.

Step 8

Click Install Authorization Code.

Note
After you install the authorization code, you receive a system alert that indicates Smart Agent successfully installed the license reservation.
The required license reservation (SLR or PLR) is installed in Secure Email and Web Manager. In SLR, only the selected reserved license is moved to the ‘Reserved in Compliance’ state. For PLR, all the licenses in the Secure Email and Web Manager are moved to the 'Reserved in Compliance’ state.
