Cisco ASR920 License Install (non Smart License)

I had to RMA a Cisco ASR920 router due to a faulty port and unable to detect the inserted SFP. I also requested the Cisco TAC License team to generate a new license file (Traditional/PAK license) based on the feature licenses on the previous ASR920 (bundled in a single license). You'll need to use the new chassis serial number to generate the new PAK license. 

The RMA ASR920 came with the default IOS-XE version 16.9.3, so it's easy for to upgrade to any 16.x code. I had a previous post regarding the IOS-XE upgrade in a Cisco ASR920. The RMA also doesn't come with new hot-swappable power supply unit (PSU) so you had to swap out the PSU from the old to new ASR920.
