Smart Software Licensing Key Points for AsyncOS 14.0

Cisco XDR will be automatically enabled when you enable Cloud Services and Cisco XDR will be disabled when Cloud Services is disabled.

Cisco XDR option is now changed in the Web UI and you can enable or disable Cisco XDR from System Administration > General Settings. You can also perform the same from CLI by using the generalconfig command.

Cloud Service will be enabled and Appliance (security services exchange) will be registered automatically when smart software licensing is enabled and registered.

In Classic Mode, Cloud Service will be in disabled state by default. You need to enable it manually and Cisco XDR will be enabled. You must enable smart licensing mode for auto-registration to occur.

After enabling Smart Software Licensing, the Smart Agent is started and once the registration is completed, Cloud services will be enabled.

You cannot perform an security services exchange auto registration when smart license is with evaluation mode.
