We have a Cisco router that was installed that we left a boot-level license statement in the config. We needed it to have a lower license level, but due to the statement, it went into eval mode for the higher level license that it doesn't need. We missed it until after our outage.
We seem to have two options:
- Take another outage & reboot the router to put it into the correct license level, since it doesn't need the higher level license.
- Purchase the existing license that is in eval mode, so we can avoid any reboots. This would come at a pretty signficant cost & would throw away the reason we planned to put the router in (we wanted to get a similar router out of the premises that was overkill in licensing with one that had a lower license).
We are curious & haven't been able to find an answer on whether or not we could just let the evaluation period expire and the license would revert back to the lower level. We are nervous that it would disable the router all together instead of just reverting back to the lower license.
Any thoughts?
Let me know if you need any more info to help out!
