CISCO ASR5K-00-PWGN10RM ASR 5000 Series

ASR5K-00-PWGN10RM Software Entitlement Identity

ASR5K-00-PWGN10RM 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 ASR5K software end-of-life table identifies this exact PID as PGW+GGSN Inter-RAT Mobility Bundle, 10K Sessions.

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 public Cisco table supplies the exact description shown above and identifies a 10K capacity unit. Do not extend that statement to a different ASR5K, ASR55 or LIF5K code.

PID-specific procurement case

Use a vendor-question log for this PID. Ask separately about exact feature, capacity measure, compatible releases, prerequisites, account delivery, support and lifecycle. Require each answer to identify the complete order code rather than the ASR5K family alone.

Acceptance record for this line

For this exact order line, the accountable reviewer is the Smart Account custodian. The required evidence package combines the support-contract mapping, entitlement identifier and escalation contact; review it during handover. If any identifier, account destination, platform scope or capacity statement conflicts, freeze further rollout until capacity and lifecycle evidence are corrected. 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.

Feature dependency

Ask Cisco or the authorized source for prerequisite features, base licenses and release constraints. A feature entitlement may still be unusable when the required service, interface, charging function or policy package is absent. List every prerequisite as an owned configuration item. Verify those dependencies in staging or a controlled maintenance window before declaring the new feature available.

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.

Change control

Document the activation window, pre-check, rollback method and success criteria. Confirm that the target software release accepts the entitlement before a production change and retain the post-change license status. The rollback must cover both configuration and entitlement state. Confirm that temporary registrations or reservations are cleaned up if the activation test fails.

Lifecycle evidence

Review Cisco's current product notice and support documentation on the decision date. Record the exact PID match; do not apply an end-of-sale date from a related code when the exact order line is absent from the notice. Capture the notice revision date and whether the exact PID is present. If it is absent, document that lifecycle remains quote-verified rather than importing a date from another product.

Lifecycle and migration check

The Cisco bulletin classifies the affected line as application software, lists March 31, 2025 as the end-of-sale date and July 31, 2027 as the last date of support. Confirm active support-contract terms and the migration path before purchase.
