Have they abandoned that?  $Earlier versions of IOS on 7200s required a 
(pricey!) netflow license.

... and I wouldn't be surprised to see extra licenses for netflow on 
the ES line cards and for $anythingonCRS1...

From what we hear from colleagues that got CRS1, Cisco is fully back in
"need extra licenses for anything!" land now - *plus* "the hardware
enforces licenses" *and* "their license management is seriously fubared"
(this is how the story goes: power outage, CRS-1 came back without any 
valid licenses, took TAC a week to restore licenses).  Well, colleagues 
have learned, and will never ever buy anything again that requires 
licenses to be stored on the device...
