Cisco ASR 9000 Series User Manual

Slot-Based Licenses
Feature licenses are allocated to router slots and not cards. Therefore, if a card is replaced, the existing license
is applied to the newly inserted card. For example, if you have eight licenses for Layer 3 VPN in the system,
you can configure Layer 3 VPN features on any eight cards in the router, and the licenses are allocated to the
slots within which the cards are installed. If a card is removed from one of these licensed slots, say slot 3, and
entered into an empty slot with no license, say slot 5, the license remains with slot 3 and the feature cannot
be activated on slot 5 with the permanent license entered earlier by the user. In this case, you can release the
license to the appropriate license pool by removing the configuration of the card (while it is inserted), or by
using the license move slot command. When you configure the feature on slot 5, the license is checked out.

evaluation licenses with permanent licenses.
