I would like to purchase a spare PIX for immediate replacement during failure while waiting for RMA. What license should I get ? Can I get a restricted license and use back my original unrestricted license during replacement later on ?</P><P></P> Fri, 21 Feb 2020 06:23:00 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-firewall-licensing/m-p/102486#M445841 boonteongng 2020-02-21T06:23:00Z Re: PIX firewall licensing https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-firewall-licensing/m-p/102487#M445842 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>The license key is tied to the device serial number.

If you have failover pix(secondary) running as active then ones a day it will be rebooted.
