Managing Technology Package and Throughput Licenses
Requesting a New Virtual UDI
The Cisco CSR 1000V license is node-locked to the vUDI. If you clone the Cisco CSR 1000V to a new
VM instance, the vUDI is in most cases automatically updated when the router first boots up on the
cloned machine. However, if the vUDI is not automatically updated, you must manually request a new
vUDI on the cloned VM instance.
Caution Requesting a new vUDI will invalidate the existing license. If you later need to rehost the license due to
a system failure, you may need to perform additional steps on the Cisco Software Licensing portal. For
more information on rehosting the Cisco CSR 1000V license, see AppendixA, “Rehosting the Cisco
CSR 1000V License.”.
