Licensing
CiscoWorks NCM is licensed on the basis of the number of nodes to be managed and whether the
High Availability and Satellite features are enabled. Customers must purchase a software license
for the core server, software licenses for the High Availability and Satellite features (if required),
software licenses for the connectors with third-party software (if required), and the appropriate core
and high-availability node count increments for the desired count of managed nodes.
A managed node is a management IP address and the configuration details for the system
accessed by the management IP address. In most cases, a single device is equivalent to a single
node. In more complex cases, such as a Cisco Catalyst Switch in hybrid mode, where the device is
running as two separate configurations, each configuration is counted as a managed node. This is
because in hybrid mode the switch has two management IP addresses and two configuration files.
For licensing purposes, unmanaged nodes are not counted toward the licensed total node count.
See the Ordering Guide for more details.
Installation
In CiscoWorks NCM 1.0, users were restricted to installing NCM on a dedicated server to avoid
port access conflict for HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, syslog, and other functions. This restriction has
been removed since CiscoWorks NCM 1.1. Users can install NCM and LMS on the same server
(Windows version only). Please refer to the recommended configurations given in Tables 2
through 7 for detailed information on preparing your network for CiscoWorks NCM deployment.
