ASA 5505 HA problem - potential licensing issue

craig_mc_12 — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 22:58:30 GMT

I have two ASA 5505's with Security Plus licenses on both.

I am trying to force them to becoming an HA pair using active/standby.

When I enable failover I get this message:

Mate's license (Licensed Cores ) is not compatible with my license (Licensed Cores ). Failover will be disabled.

Do I need to apply new licenses to the ASA's?

Device licence details (same on both):

Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.2(1)

Licensed features for this platform:

Maximum Physical Interfaces : 8

VLANs : 20, DMZ Unrestricted

Inside Hosts : Unlimited

Failover : Active/Standby

VPN-DES : Enabled

VPN-3DES-AES : Enabled

SSL VPN Peers : 2

Total VPN Peers : 25

Dual ISPs : Enabled

VLAN Trunk Ports : 8

Shared License : Disabled

AnyConnect for Mobile : Disabled

AnyConnect for Linksys phone : Disabled

AnyConnect Essentials : Disabled

Advanced Endpoint Assessment : Disabled

UC Phone Proxy Sessions : 2

Total UC Proxy Sessions : 2

Botnet Traffic Filter : Disabled

This platform has an ASA 5505 Security Plus license.

Many thanks

Hi Craig,

Sounds like license install issue.I suggest you open a TAC case on this.TAC may provide you with new license keys to install on the units.

Thx
