Licensing

Hello

Organization has two physical appliances 3615 and would like to add a Virtual node at our third site.

When I create a quote would I include these to complete the order:

VM for Small environment (R-ISE-VMS-K9=)

And SmartNet

Should I include for TACACS and base license? I feel like those should be included.

Or because it is a third node, we do not need additional license.

Officially speaking, a three node ISE deployment is not supported by the TAC/BU, but that's unrelated to your licensing question. You are supposed to move to a hybrid deployment if you go beyond two nodes, where the PAN/MNT are on their own, then you would have up to 5 additional PSN nodes.

Base licenses are shared by the admin nodes for the deployment, you do not need more base licenses if you have enough to cover your current authentication load.
TACACS is done per node, you need one license per node you enable device admin on.
