ASA5505 with anyconnect essential license cannot pair

l.buschi — Tue, 12 Mar 2019 06:10:36 GMT

Hello,

I have two ASA5505 with security plus license.

The two ASAs are identical apart from ANYCONNECT ESSENTIAL license which is enabled only in one of the firewall.

When I try to configure failover i get the following message:

" Mate's license (AnyConnect Essentials Enabled) is not compatible with my license (AnyConnect Essentials Disabled). Failover will be disabled."

Is there a way to disable anyconnect essential in order to have the two unit working in a failover architecture?

Thank you all

Johnny

You can first upgrade to 8.3+

You can first upgrade to 8.3+ where licenses need not match to form an HA pair.

Thank you very much

Thank you very much.

Unfortunately my costumer doesn't want to upgrade to 8.3+.

Isn't there another way to let them pair in 8.2.5 release?

Tks

You're welcome.

You can add AnyConnect Essentials to the unit that doesn't have it.

Part number L-ASA-AC-E-5505= list price US$100.

It's approaching end of sales and available only through 31 August 2015. The older AnyConnect Essentials package is being replaced with the new AnyConnect Plus product which also has mobile support built in.
