The right to use these features is offered through a Feature License.
For example, to use NetFlow Switching on a Cisco 7200 series platform,
the WAN Packet Protocol/Netflow Feature License, FR-WPP72, is required.
Note: A feature license conveys the right to use a
feature, but it cannot add a feature to a software release that does not
support it.

upgrade the software to support NetFlow.
