Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method includes receiving, from a graphical user interface, an indication that a user has purchased licenses associated with a CNF. The method further includes sending, to a second computing system of a CNF, first instructions regarding the licenses purchased by the user. The method further includes receiving an indication that the user wishes to deploy a particular router in the CNF with a particular data connection and retrieving, from the second computing system of the CNF, a list of licenses previously purchased by the user. The method further includes automatically determining, from the list of licenses, appropriate licenses for the particular router that the user wishes to deploy in the CNF. The method further includes sending second instructions that are operable to deploy the particular router in the CNF with the particular data connection and apply the determined licenses to the deployed particular router.
