Licensing an ASA5512-X

tplassart — Tue, 12 Mar 2019 06:37:26 GMT

Hi,

I'm quite new to Cisco.

I'm trying to register an ASA5512-X.

I entered my PAK, then, to assign a device, I'm asked to enter a license key (!!!) whilst I'm here to get one!

I tried to enter the serial number of my device which have been refused.

I'm trying to find "the License Key visible on your Licensing console", but from ASDM, I don't get the info.

Could someone guide me ?

Thanks

Hi,

The PAK is used to generate a license key. The license key is tied to a serial number of the device.

So you just need to go to cisco.com/go/license and use your PAK and serial number to generate a license key.

here are the links that you can use:

use the serial number on the show version output to register PAK on cisco portal.

the serial number on show inventory is used to register for smartnet.

Thank you risseth & johnlloyd_13 for your answers, but it didn't work for me.

My PAK leads to this screen:

then to this one:

Maybe the point is that my PAK is for FirePOWER.

When I follow the link "How to get this" I'm redirected to this page : https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12196841/sourcefire-how-get-license-key-defense-center

I don't know what is the defense center and when I read the procedure, I'm not sure I've been sold the right thing for I don't have any virtual environnement to deploy a VM on...

Do you have any suggestion ?

Many thanks!

Hi,FirePOWER is a security

Hi,

FirePOWER is a security service that you can run on top of ASA5500-x device. The DefenceCenter/FireSIGHT is a management solution for FirePOWER service.

Probably you are right, you might be having PAK for wrong device, you should cross check with your vendor.

Hope it Helps!!!

Thanks,

Hi,I purchased a "SEC-plus"

Hi,

I purchased a "SEC-plus" license to have HA (I have two 5512-X) and to establish 50 AnyConnect VPN.

I just asked my reseller to provide me the associated PAK.

I hope, the registering will be more simpler, requiring only the equipment S/N... 🙂

Thanks
