Does anyone have any insight on how often you need to pay for the new
subscription based licenses? For example: S-XRV-SUB-RTU which is the
replacement for the former perpetual based licenses. What happens when the
subscription is not paid in a timely manner? I'm having trouble finding
documentation about this.

Hello Curtis,

From Cisco documentation.

When in production mode, no limitations are imposed, and no enforcement is
applied, regardless of whether the customer is in compliance or not, from a
licensing point of view. (This is in keeping with the smart licensing
principles: each router only reports usage to the back-end, and any
out-of-compliance accounts trigger back-end processes to reach out to
customers to purchase or renew licenses).

Regards,

So they essentially become more nuisance alarms just like the physical
chassis licensing. However, in this case it can phone home to Cisco and
basically trigger reminders, audit events to Cisco. I think my question
was more towards the available subscription tiers/models? Is this like a 1
month, 6 month, 1 year, etc.. type subscription availability?
