Rehosting the Cisco CSR 1000V License

The process for rehosting a license on the Cisco CSR 1000V is different than for other Cisco platforms. Because the license is not mapped to a Cisco hardware device, additional steps may be necessary for rehosting the license.

•Voluntarily Rehosting the License to a New VM

•Obtaining a Rehost License if the System Fails

Voluntarily Rehosting the License to a New VM

If you plan to voluntarily rehost the Cisco CSR 1000V to a new VM and the router is operating properly, you can use the self-service rehosting process on the Cisco Software Licensing Tool.

Note The self-service rehosting process is only available for permanent licenses on the Cisco CSR 1000V. If you have subscription term licenses installed, you must contact licensing@cisco.com for assistance.
