Cisco Account Type

Cisco offers various types of accounts for users to manage their software licenses and agreements efficiently. The two main types are:

• Customer Smart Account: This account is where all the customers licenses are deposited and organized. It can be managed directly by the customer, the partner, or both, providing flexibility in license management.

• Partner Holding Account: This type of account is used by partners or distributors to temporarily store an order until the customer smart account is established. It allows for better organization and management of licenses before they are transferred to the customer account.
