You cannot buy this single deployment license any more, it has been replaced by the tacacs node licenses. If you were to have bought the old TACACS deployment license, you are given an early adopter bonus, this license gets transferred/translated to 50 TACACS node licenses. From 2.4 - 2.7, the TACACS licensing model went to a per node basis and enabling the device admin role on a VM/appliance requires a 1 for 1 number of TACACS node licenses. If you bought a TACACS licenses for the deployment pre 2.4, this was a single license that allowed up to 50 nodes (max nodes in ISE) to have the device admin role enabled. TAC/licensing team will grant a direct 1:1 of the old RTU VM licenses ordered to new medium size vm licenses. I wouldn't expect it to stay this way, I suspect we will see VM license enforcement in the future with a grace period. Right now there is no enforcement action for being short VM licenses other than a warning message that you are out of compliance on licensing.
#Cisco ise 2.4 tacacs license install
It was expected you buy them and self police according to our morals of if we are using it, we should license it.įor released 2.4 - 2.7, you are now expected to either install the VM licenses directly to the deployment via a fulfilled licenses file, or having enough entitlement in the smart account the deployment is registered to. Pre 2.4 didn't require installing VM licenses, they were right to use only. Ĭurrently, this is what they have purchased in EA agreement :Ī few things changed since 2.0.
#Cisco ise 2.4 tacacs license upgrade
Does the EA agreement covers this license upgrade as well? As they are running more than one device admin nodes in the Cisco ISE 2.6 Deployment in Virtual Environment.Now, they have upgraded to the Cisco ISE release 2.6 and are looking forward to move from traditional licensing model to smart licensing model they have few queries to be addressed: Moreover, I also see that in pre 2.4 release VM is licensed with no enforcement. Reference Link : Section License Behaviorīased on the information mentioned above, I see there is no restriction on the Device admin license in pre 2.4 release so they can have unlimited number of ISE TACACS+ nodes within the deployment. Please, look at difference between ISE pre 2.4 and Release 2.4 and above in the screenshot below : ISE Licensing has changed for 2.4 and above. Customer has upgraded ISE from 2.0 release to 2.6 release.
