Symptom
Every time the command "license boot suite FoundationSuiteK9" is entered, the router adds it to the configuration as "license boot level FoundationSuiteK9" instead. Once the router reloads, it will enable the license, but the command is going to be removed from the running configuration since that is not a valid option. This causes that saving the configuration just removes the line and, in case the router gets reloaded, the license will be deactivated.
Conditions
Evidenced on ASR 1000 series routers running IOS XE Software - Cupertino-17.9.4a(MD).
Workaround
Downgrade to IOS XE Software - Bengaluru-17.6.5a(ED).
