Anyconnect APEX license Issue

YoussefELIDRYSY56913 — Wed, 16 Sep 2020 08:42:03 GMT

Hi Support,

Our order is L-AC-APX-LIC= for an ASA vpn anyconnect 110, as indicated in attached screenshot

And I downloaded the license from the portal and i install it on ASA, but after reboot and "show version" command, it shows me that we have 5000 Anyconnect premium peers, knowing that our order is only 110.

Is this normal behavior of the ASA , or are there other things configured or verified.

The screenshots attached describe our problem.

Best Regards,

This is normal behavior.

The ASA will show the maximum number of endpoints supported by the platform.

This is because AnyConnect 4.x+ is technically licensed per unique user - not per connected endpoint. So, rather that try to figure out which connections are unique users, the ASA just allows as many as it can and shifts the burden of ensuring compliance with the terms of the licenses to the administrator.
