Cisco ASR 9K Smart License L3 VPN for 9901 System | Enterprise Licensing — S-A9K-9901-AIP-LC=

Keep Layer 3 VPN services enabled on the ASR 9K 9901 system with a Cisco Smart License designed for non-PAYG environments. This license is intended for organizations that standardize feature entitlement across routed infrastructure and need a clean path to activate VPN functionality without changing the underlying platform. For network teams managing high-value WAN and service-provider edge deployments, licensing is part of operational control. This entitlement supports a disciplined procurement model, helping align software access with the installed system and the service profile already in place. It is a practical fit when you need to preserve routing investment while maintaining clear software governance. Because it is tied to the 9901 system, this license is suited to environments where compatibility and entitlement accuracy matter more than broad, generic coverage. It helps avoid ambiguity at deployment time and keeps the focus on keeping critical VPN services available on the platform you already run.
