I’ve got an 887 with an advsecurity license but need EIGRP for a quick lab. Normally I’d reach for GNS3 but figured activating an evaluation of the advipservices license would be quicker, and it was something I had never done before.

We can activate the trial with the license boot module c880-data level advipservices
command.
The router configuration needs to be saved and the device reloaded. Following the reload, #show license
now shows the trial license in use.
