Firepower SMARTLicense Expireation

John.Mayer — Mon, 10 May 2021 08:49:44 GMT

actually i have a Cisco firepower 4120 in my lab and install SMART License Eval for 9 days

but after it expire once i try to deploy any change on policies it says "Deployment is not available since your device does not have a base license, please go to [Smart License] to solve the issue"

i just want to know that is it possible to remove or delete the smart account for advance threats and use my FTD as a normal device?

as i know that base license is permanent on FTDs

thank you all in advance

John

Generally it is easier to register it properly to your Smart account and get a no-cost base license associated.

However, if you backup your config and then restart with a factory default image you can re-register with a new 90-day evaluation smart license.

If you don't want to reset to factory default, then you must license it to a Smart account.

Dear Marvin

It shouldn't be necessary to remove the logical device in fxos.
