Perhaps there is someone out there that would be kind enough to shed some light on this.



Cisco's RTU license makes it appear that I can use the securityk9 license forever (Life time)



#show license right-to-use Index 2 Feature: securityk9 Period left: Life time License Type: RightToUse License State: Active, In Use License Count: Non-Counted License Priority: Low Index 3 Feature: datak9 Period left: Life time License Type: RightToUse License State: Active, In Use License Count: Non-Counted License Priority: Low



However this says that securityk9 is and Evaluation license. #show license feature Feature name Enforcement Evaluation Subscription Enabled RightToUse ipbasek9 no no no yes no securityk9 yes yes no yes yes datak9 yes yes no yes yes SSL_VPN yes yes no no yes ios-ips-update yes yes yes no yes hseck9 yes no no no no WAAS_Express yes yes no no yes


My question is... Will securityk9 ever expire, or will it last forever? Cisco's website really doesn't do a great job of explaining the simple here.



Thanks, Crzzy1 CCNP/Cisco
