Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cisco ONE licensing?
Cisco ONE (One Platform Kit) licensing is a flexible, software-centric licensing model that allows customers to purchase and manage software capabilities across their network infrastructure. It often includes subscription terms for access to features and support.
What does 'High Availability' mean for this license?
High Availability means this license enables a redundant setup for your Cisco NSO-ESC platform. If one server fails, a secondary server takes over automatically, ensuring your network automation services remain operational without interruption.
Is this license tied to specific hardware?
While the license enables features on your Cisco NSO-ESC platform, it is a software entitlement. The specific hardware it runs on would be part of your own IT infrastructure, configured for high availability.
