The Security Technology Package Evaluation Right to Use License
The Security Technology License needs to be activated on the ISR-G2 devices to perform the labs in the CCNA Security and CCNP curricula. Academies with a valid NetAcad Maintenance Contract are authorized to use the Security Technology Package Right to Use (RTU) license. You will need to agree to the End-User License agreement (EULA).

Activating the Security Technology Package
To activate the Security Technology Package evaluation license on an ISR-G2 device perform the steps below. Technology package evaluation licenses are activated using the license boot module module-name technology-package package-name command:
1. enable
2. configure terminal
3. license boot module module-name technology-package securityk9
4. exit
5. write
6. reload

The module-name, in step 3, is replaced with either “c1900” or “c2900” depending on the router model you are working on. Use the ? with the module command to see the module name for your router.

Accepting the End-User License Agreement (EULA)
To allow the Security Technology Package evaluation license to automatically convert to a Right-to-Use license after the 60 day evaluation period, you must accept the End-user License Agreement by executing the following procedure:
1. enable
2. configure terminal
3. license accept end user license agreement
Note: The router will display the EULA on the screen, and ask you to accept the agreement. You will need to type “yes” at the prompt to accept the agreement. After reading and accepting the agreement, complete the procedure below:
