IOU License Generator on Github

If you’re in need of a license key for Cisco IOU, you’re in luck. A new license generator, iougen, has popped up on Github in the last day or two.
From the README file:
iougen is a python module/cli script that can be ran to generate IOU license keys.
IOU stands for IOS on Unix and is a full IOS environment that can run as a Unix process. IOU requires a valid key to operate and that is where this module comes in.
The code used for generating the license code came from a user who goes by Kel. Kel ported the code in 2011 from an original C program written in 2006. I just cleaned it up and made it a package that could be imported for use in other projects (like a web front end).
I’m told that the web front-end is, indeed, coming.
Note About IOU
I’m stealing this from the author of iougen because it applies here on Evil Routers as well:
If you run this script it is assumed that you have the legal right to posses and/or run IOU and that you have obtained IOU in a legal way.
The author of this script takes no responsibility for illegal actions.
I also do not know how you can obtain IOU so don’t even ask!
