Hello Blake, the question was more the other direction: How do I prove/verify I have a valid license if I receive nothing that says "here is your Cisco license #xxxxxx for IOS Advanced IP Services on Sup2T" ? I now payed around 8k Dollar and only have a CD (Windows says its ever A CDRW) with a Cisco logo + the image name / version printed on it and the dealers invoice that I bought 1x "license". For that price I want to be sure that it is not just a CD made by some guys in China with a good CD printer.
