In Cisco [SD-WAN](/sd-wan) environments running version 20.x, the deployment of [vEdge](/sd-wan-vedge) routers requires obtaining device licenses through a smart account. Alternatively, for Cisco Catalyst 8000V routers, a "pay as you go" licensing model is available, which does not necessitate the generation of device licenses. The Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN guide suggests using the universalk9 image to deploy on compatible devices starting from Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN Release 17.2.1r. This approach provides a more flexible licensing solution compared to traditional device licenses.

As licensing models continually change, make sure to find out and to comply with Cisco's current policy when labbing these topologies.
