(Quase 10 anos atrasado)
Já há alguns anos (com o lançamento dos ISRG2) a Cisco passou a usar um novo modelo de licenciamento para ativar funcionalidades nos roteadores.
O IOS conta com todas as funcionalidades e para usá-las basta instalar e ativar as licenças necessárias, sem a necessidade de trocar o software. A maioria das licenças não precisa nem reiniciar o equipamento.
Instalando licença nos ISRg2 e ISR 4K
Neste exemplo instalei a licença HSEC (requer a licença Tecnology Package SecurityK9), mas o procedimento é o mesmo para as demais Features Licenses.
O primeiro passo depois de comprar a licença é baixá-la do site da Cisco (www.cisco.com/go/license). Você vai precisar informar o Prodcut ID e o Serial Number.
Importante: quando for gerar a licença, informe o serial number verificado através do comando show license udi, que é diferente do serial # do equipamento.
BrainRT01#show license udi

No caso das licenças do tipo Technology Package (securityk9, datak9/appxk9, uck9) é necessário reiniciar (reload) o roteador se ela já não estiver em uso como trial. 
Licenças Trial / Evaluation
Para ativar uma feature temporariamente, para fins de teste, usamos comandos diferentes.
