Multiple ISR firepower modules into single

Just wondering, if i have multiple branches and grab the ISR 4331 with the firepower module can i hook them up into FMC to manage?

That would go the same for the head office with ASA-5555-X with firepower, feed it into a the FMC?

Yes, that's what Firepower Management Center (FMC) is designed to do.

It manages the configurations and policies as well as collects the events from all of the remote sensors (Firepower appliances, Firepower modules, etc.).

Just make sure you but a license or appliance that's sized appropriately. The VM-based FMC is licensed in 2-, 10- and 25-device sizes. The hardware FMC appliances aren't restricted as to how many sensors you can manage.

Thanks for the information, good to know about the licensing. Cisco sure do know how to license their products. The appliance seems to be the way to for my use case, they don't have any VM infrastructure, small sites.
