Cisco Identity Services Engine Licensing
Creating New Licenses · 2013
®Identity Services Engine (ISE) Software Release 1.2, customers will have a new option to configure ISE licensing. This new enhancement improves the flexibility and resiliency of an ISE deployment. Prior to ISE Release 1.2, customers could only specify ISE licenses to be registered to a single ISE Administration Node (i.e., the Primary Administration Node). Now, ISE Release 1.2 delivers the capability to register ISE licenses to two Administration Nodes (i.e., Primary and Secondary Administration Nodes). The registration of an ISE license to the Primary Administration Node remains mandatory, but the option to register a Secondary Administrative Node is available. The assignment of an ISE license to a Primary and Secondary (optional) Administration Node is accomplished during the Product Activation Key (PAK) registration process. First, go to the Cisco License Administration Portal and enter the PAK number. On the PAK registration page, enter the Unique Device Identifier (UDI) information for the Primary (mandatory) and Secondary (optional) Administration Nodes. Continue to enter the other required information. Upon completion of this PAK registration process, a license file is emailed to the designated recipient. This license file can be uploaded to both Primary and Secondary Nodes.
