| Aspect | What You Need to Know | |--------|----------------------| | | Cisco IOS XR is proprietary software . Redistribution of the image without an explicit license from Cisco (or an authorized reseller) violates copyright law. | | Evaluation Agreements | Cisco often makes such images available through Cisco Modeling Labs (CML) , DevNet Sandbox , or Partner‑Only portals . Access is granted under a non‑disclosure/evaluation agreement that restricts commercial use. | | Academic Use | Many universities obtain an academic license that allows students to download and run the images for teaching and research, but the same restrictions on redistribution apply. | | Open‑Source Alternatives | If you need a freely redistributable router image, consider Open vSwitch , FRRouting (FRR) , or VyOS , which are all open‑source and can be packaged as qcow2 images without licensing hurdles. |
