Hi, I've a quick question about registering ISE with a smart account.

We have Essential and Premier licenses, when registering ISE with our smart account, what tiers to we select?

Essentials and Premier or do we need to select Advantage as well as Premier has Advantage features?

Thanks

You should enable whatever licenses you actually have in your Smart Account. For your case, that would be Essential and Premier.

I am curious to your use-cases as well though. What was the drive to purchase only Essentials and Premier? Are you not doing any profiling but you are doing Posture?

So what I ended up doing was enabling all three, as premier includes advantage features.
