Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary purpose of this license?
This license is exclusively for testing and validating high availability configurations for up to two nodes within a lab or non-production environment. It ensures you can prepare for production deployments without risk.
Can this license be used in a production environment?
No, this license is strictly designated for lab use only. Using it in a production environment would violate the licensing terms and could lead to compliance issues.
What does 'High Availability' mean in this context?
High Availability refers to the ability of a system to remain operational and accessible even when components fail. This license allows you to test how your Cisco setup handles such failures and recovers automatically.
