Answer options

• A. setup of a Cisco ASA to provide a Cisco Smart Software Manager satellite system for license reservation
• B. use of a Cisco UCM subscriber node as an HTTPS proxy to communicate with the Cisco Smart Software Manager
• C. configuration of an IPsec policy to secure the communication between Cisco UCM Publisher and Cisco Smart Software Manager
• D. manual exchange of information between Cisco UCM and Cisco Smart Software Manager to associate and reserve the licenses

Correct answer: D
