Cisco ASR1K IOS-XE 17.6.3 Software Upgrade

My family and I recently visited the Omniverse Museum and it houses a large collection of toys and memorabilia from DC, Marvel, Star Wars, Harry Potter, etc. It's located in Level 4 (Japan Town area) Glorietta 2 Makati City, Philippines.

This is the Iron Man hall which displays the complete 14 Iron Man suit/armor.

This is Superman's Fortress of Solitude.

This is my favorite part of the museum, Hogwarts castle's The Great Hall.

This is Star Wars' Jabba the Hutt.

Below is the upgrade process for a Cisco ASR1K from IOS-XE 16.x to 17.x. You'll need to check first the ROMMON and IOS-XE compatibility matrix. The initial ROMMON upgrade took around 8 minutes to complete.

Per the Cisco doc, in a Cisco ASR 1001 and Cisco ASR 1002-X after all the RTU licenses, there is NO expiration of license and are valid for a lifetime. Permanent licenses are NOT affected by Cisco IOS-XE release upgrades.

Per the Cisco doc, the 17.x IOS-XE upgrade performs a PAK licenses "snapshot": To continue supporting and honouring any existing PAK licenses you may have, the system automatically takes a snapshot of the PAK license and triggers a Device-led Conversion process, to convert PAK license to a Smart license.
