Require a Encryption-3DES-AES activation key on FTD

After snort auto update, FTD gives the below error.

The 3DES/AES algorithms require a Encryption-3DES-AES activation key.

Is it related to 3DES-AES encryption license ?

Does anyone experience with same issue? Any workaround ?

Thanks in advance.

I just noticed on few FTD's SNORT update has disabled the strong encryption using the below command.

FMC >> strong-encryption-disable

Can anyone know, how do i enable in FTD ?

Note : On other devices its not disabled ( i can see the transcript as FMC >> no strong-encryption-disable)

Thanks - John

I have FTD running on Firepower appliances, ASAs and as VMs. all of them with the latest Snort updates and FTD 6.4.0.2. None of them are showing this issue.

I'd recommend opening a TAC case.
