Installing and Configuring Cisco Access Registrar, 4.2
OL-17221-02
Chapter 1 Overview
Cisco Access Registrar 4.2 Licensing
CAR can be deployed in a two-tier architecture—front-end and back-end server. The front-end server
performs AAA functions and it needs the base license and the TPS license. The back-end server performs
session management functions and it needs the secondary license.
CAR can be deployed in an active/stand-by server combination (with Sun clustering solution). Active
server performs all the functionality and it needs the base license and the TPS license. Only if the active
server goes down, sun cluster will trigger the stand-by server. The stand-by server needs secondary
license.
License Slabs
The license slabs available in CAR 4.2 are listed in Table 1.
Getting Cisco Access Registrar 4.2 License
When you order the CAR 4.2 product, a text license file will be sent to you in e-mail. If you are
evaluating the software, Cisco will provide you with an evaluation license.
If you decide to upgrade your Cisco AR software, a new text license file will be sent to you in e-mail.
Note While upgrading, the licenses of previous versions cannot be used with CAR 4.2. Backward
compatability support in terms of license will not be available in this version.
