Tasks for Ordering an Upgrade License and Generating a Key

This section describes the process that you use to order an upgrade license and to generate a license key

for your ACE.

Follow these steps to order an upgrade license:

Step 1 Order one of the licenses from the list in the “Information about ACE Licenses” section using any of the

available Cisco ordering tools on cisco.com.

Step 2 When you receive the Software License Claim Certificate from Cisco, follow the instructions that direct

you to the Cisco.com website. As a registered user of Cisco.com, go to this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/go/license

Step 3 Enter the Product Authorization Key (PAK) number found on the Software License Claim Certificate as

your proof of purchase.

Step 4 Provide all the requested information to generate a license key.

After the system generates the license key, you will receive a license key e-mail with an attached license

file and installation instructions.

Step 5 Save the attached license file to a remote server that you can access from the ACE. Save the license key

e-mail in a safe place in case you need it in the future (for example, to transfer the license to another

ACE).
