Obtaining your CiscoSecure Software Keys

There are three methods to obtain your software keys. The first method is preferred for new installations. The second and third methods can be used for upgrades, or for customers who are not registered users of Cisco Connection Online (CCO).

Web-based Registration

This method will provide immediate keys for first-time registrations. You must be a registered user of Cisco Connection Online (CCO) to use this method.

Step 1 Go to the following registration URL:

http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center/access/ciscosecure/

Step 2 If this is a first-time installation, click CSU-2.0.

If this is an upgrade, click CSU-2.0-UG.

Step 3 Enter the requested customer information (name, address, and so on), host IDs, and token number.

Step 4 Click Submit.

Phone or E-mail

•Call the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) to open a case at 800-553-2447.

•Send an e-mail to licensing@cisco.com.

Primary and Backup Keys

You will receive two software keys, one primary and one backup. The primary key is used in your primary CiscoSecure server. The backup key can be used with another Ultra 1 as a standby, backup server.

When you Receive Your Keys

If you installed CiscoSecure ACS prior to receiving your software keys, log in to the CiscoSecure Administrator web site, locate the CiscoSecure License Key field on the AAA > General web page, enter the software license key number, and click Re-Initialize for your key to take effect. Make a note of your software keys here for future reference.
