Dear All

Good afternoon. We want to try the NCS before we buy it. Could you please tell me how to get the NCS trial licenses online?

Thank you, and have a good night.

Dear Steve

Thank you for your info. We installed NCS on a VM server. However, when I apply the temp licenses from the link you gave me, it asks me the "product id" and "serial number". Could you please tell me how to skip this step?

Thank you, and have a nice day.

Yours,

Antony

you can't skip that step.  you have to provide this information.  You can get this by accessing the NCS admin portal.

HTH,

Thank you Stephen

I have installed a virtual appliance of Cisco Prime NCS 1.1.1 and when I log to the server using browser I receive this message : 

You have no licenses.

You will not be able to navigate outside of the License Center until you install a license.

Seems that they removed the NCS trial from the list of available demo licenses.

Anyway, why do you want to test NCS, which is actually an outdated piece of software? I would recommend to test its successor Prime Infrastructure (current version 1.3) - and this comes with a built-in demo license.

regards

Stefan
