CISCO ASR5K-00-AN01REC ASR 5000 Software License

ASR5K-00-AN01REC Software Entitlement Identity

ASR5K-00-AN01REC is a Cisco ASR 5000 / StarOS software-license order code. It is not an ASR chassis or a physical WAN router. This page must be used to verify a software entitlement, not to select ports, power supplies, airflow, rack hardware or cabling.

Cisco's current public ASR5K software end-of-life table does not provide an exact-description row for this PID. The code is therefore retained without expanding its acronym or claiming a feature or capacity that Cisco has not confirmed in the public source.

What this order does not include

No ASR 5000 chassis, packet-processing card, interface module, cable, power component, rack accessory or physical appliance is included by this software PID. Hardware availability and compatibility must be handled as separate order lines.

Exact feature and capacity evidence

The exact feature expansion and capacity are deliberately not inferred from the PID tokens. Require a Cisco sales record, entitlement document or official product notice that repeats the complete code before approval.

PID-specific procurement case

Record how the entitlement will be represented in asset and configuration systems. Use the full PID as a searchable key and keep commercial order, account destination and operational node linked. Avoid storing it as a generic router component.

Acceptance record for this line

For this exact order line, the accountable reviewer is the core licensing administrator. The required evidence package combines the support-contract mapping, entitlement identifier and escalation contact; review it before activation. If any identifier, account destination, platform scope or capacity statement conflicts, cancel the change window and restore the recorded license baseline. Close the record only when another engineer can reproduce the entitlement decision from the stored evidence without relying on the product-page wording.

Entitlement identity

Require the Cisco quotation and entitlement record to repeat the complete PID, quantity and commercial term. Reject a line that shortens the code or replaces it with a family label because adjacent ASR5K licenses can authorize different functions and capacities. The approver should sign the exact order string and retain the Cisco source used to interpret it. If the source and quotation disagree, stop release and ask Cisco to resolve the discrepancy.

Smart Account ownership

Name the Smart Account, virtual account and administrator responsible for registration or transfer. Confirm that the party placing the order can deliver the entitlement into the account used by the target deployment. Test account ownership before the purchase window closes. Include a recovery contact so licensing work is not blocked by a single administrator or an obsolete partner relationship.

Activation acceptance

Define a successful activation test that is specific to the ordered feature. Preserve the license state, relevant configuration and one controlled functional result, then remove temporary test settings and close exceptions. The evidence should show the intended feature working and no unexpected license alarm. Record the reviewer and timestamp so a later support case can reproduce the entitlement state.

Order substitution

Require written approval for any proposed substitute. Compare function, capacity, active or failover scope, term, platform and licensing method rather than accepting a similar-looking ASR5K code. A substitute review must be completed before invoicing. If the replacement has a different token, capacity or licensing mode, create a new technical approval rather than editing the original record.

Operational ownership

Assign an owner for license alarms, capacity consumption, renewal or migration dates and Smart Licensing communication. Add the exact PID to the configuration inventory so later audits do not rely on a generic router asset record. Define alert thresholds and review frequency. Close stale or duplicate entitlements so the inventory reflects what the platform can actually use.

Decommission control

When the related service is retired, remove or reassign the entitlement only through Cisco-supported procedures. Preserve the final license state and migration approval so unused rights are not mistaken for active capacity. Close monitoring and capacity records when a license is retired. Keep the final evidence with the migration project to prevent the same PID from being counted twice.

Lifecycle and migration check

Do not transfer the bulletin's dates from a neighboring ASR5K PID to this exact code. Ask Cisco or the authorized source to confirm lifecycle, migration and support status in the quotation, then retain that evidence with the entitlement record.
