Tabl e 5-2 shows the workflow for adding your licenses.

Obtaining a Username and Password

To add a license, you must have a valid username, password, and group ID. To obtain this information,
you must register your Cisco NPS product with Cisco Systems, Inc. Instructions for doing this are listed
on the Software License Claim Certificate that is included in your product installation package. For more
information, see the “Registering Your Cisco Solution Product” section on page 1-2.
After your registration is confirmed, Cisco will send you an email with a username, password, and Group
ID number. You will need this information when you add the component licenses as described in the
following sections.
