Adding Licenses

---

You must purchase licenses to access the Cisco Prime Infrastructure features required to manage your network. Each license also controls the number of devices that you can manage using those features.

You need a base license and the corresponding feature licenses (such as the assurance or the lifecycle license) to get full access to the respective Prime Infrastructure features to manage a set number of devices.

If you have installed Prime Infrastructure for the first time you may access the lifecycle and assurance features using the built-in evaluation license that is available by default. The default evaluation license is valid for 60 days for 100 devices.

If you need additional information about licensing, see the following

•Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 Quick Start Guide—contains descriptions of the different licenses, how to order licenses, and license entitlement.

•Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 Administrator Guide—contains information about managing licenses, troubleshooting licensing issues, and verifying license details.
