[c-nsp] ISR G2 Licenses - Permanent vs Right To Use

[Steve McCrory]

So are you saying that the distributor has not installed any license at
all as they are pretty adamant that they have and the Cisco EULA seems
to suggest that a RTU license is valid as long as you do actually
purchase a license

Right to use means they just turned on eval mode and let it go to honor
mode. If they had installed an actual license, it would show perm.

come in two forms
1) bundled security router (direct from cisco)
2) ip base router + right to use security license (temporary or
perpetual)

In the first case you get

Index 2 Feature: securityk9
        Period left: Life time

        License Type: Permanent

        License State: Active, In Use
        License Count: Non-Counted

        License Priority: Medium

In the second case what you have.

Since the distributor "preinstalled the license" it seems to be an
ipbase router with perpetual right to use security.
