Cool! Thanks for that. We ended up opening up *.cisco.com to avoid any issues 
or changes. What's the worst that could happen? Contact blogs.cisco.com and 
download something? Lol

Thanks for the advice.  We have the tools.cisco.com open for other things smart 
licensing, but saw the other url listed in the link below.  I figured I would 
see what it was trying to reach out to after enabling and add to the rule if 
required.

Two schools of thought, get it working first and get it out of the way. OR, 
heed all of the latest smart licensing certificate advisories and assume the 
code you have now doesn't work and is fixed on the latest code. TAC will likely 
only help you with versions that are fixed anyways, right?

Try it out on v14.0 first and then see what happens. That's what I would do. It 
can't hurt, can it? Just be ready to upgrade quickly.

Interesting that you say it only needs to talk to smartreceiver.cisco.com, I 
was pretty sure it was tools.cisco.com that it needed to talk to.

Reading through the upgrade notes for Expressway 14.2, Smart Licensing is 
required.

I am debating if I should configure Smart Licensing first on my 14.0.7 
Expressways before upgrading or after the upgrade.  My initial thought is to do 
it before, so I don't have to deal with it after the upgrade.

For those of you who may have already made the move to Smart Licensing on your 
Expressways, any service disruptions while you got it configured and working?  
Seems the Expressway E only needs to be able to talk to 
https://smartreceiver.cisco.com/licservice/license.

Thanks for any guidance on this.

Sean.
