The Cisco ONE C3850-24 IP Base to IP Services Smart License is a software upgrade license that elevates your Catalyst 3850 switch from IP Base feature set to IP Services feature set under Cisco’s Smart Licensing model.
The IP Services license adds advanced Layer 3 routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, EIGRP), IPv6 routing, multicast, MPLS, and high-performance VPN capabilities to your Catalyst 3850 switch.
Log in to your switch CLI, enable smart licensing, register your device to Cisco Smart Software Manager, and issue the ‘license install ...’ command with your IP Services entitlement token.
Cisco Smart Licensing is a cloud-based license management system that tracks and deploys software entitlements in real time, simplifying compliance and reducing administrative overhead.
The C1-C3850-24-S-E upgrade is supported on all Catalyst 3850 24-port switches running Cisco IOS XE 16.6.1 or later.
After purchase, retrieve your Smart Account token from Cisco Software Central, configure the switch with the token via CLI, and verify activation with ‘show license status’.
Register your entitlement in Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM) at software.cisco.com, associating the token with your Smart Account and virtual account.
Yes. Remove the license token from the source device in CSSM, then install the token on the target device to reassign the entitlement.
The term license is valid for one year from activation. Upon expiry, you must renew to maintain feature access, or convert to a permanent license if available.
Purchase a renewal from your Cisco reseller, then install the new entitlement token via CLI or CSSM before the current term expires.
Yes. Cisco ONE subscriptions include full access to periodic software updates and feature releases for the duration of your license term.
Use the CLI command ‘show license all’ or ‘show platform software license status’ to display current license usage, entitlement, and expiration details.
Smart Licensing centralizes entitlement management in the cloud for live tracking and reporting, whereas traditional licensing relies on PAKs and manual tracking.
Cisco ONE term licenses include access to Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) support and software maintenance for the license duration.
Yes. Simply order additional C1-C3850-24-S-E licenses through your Cisco partner, then register each new entitlement in your Smart Account.
Ensure your switch runs Cisco IOS XE 16.6.1+, has internet access or an on-premises satellite, and that you have a registered Cisco Smart Account with entitlement tokens.
