You can still have SLR
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/smart-licensing/qsg/b_Smart_Licensing_QuickStart/b_Smart_Licensing_QuickStart_chapter_01000.html
and get persistent smart license you install on your device and it'll
never phone home.

You might want to argue an air gapped router to get itt, or if you
have commercial leverage apply that liberally.

For HW routers the process is like this
a) give your implied HW license to license server
b) allocate that from license server back, as SLR file
c) install SLR file, never worry about it again
