cisco ISE licensing...

Shaik Moinuddin — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 09:49:02 GMT

Hi,

seeking help to reduce our ISE licensing cost, actually we are out budget and we planning to order ISE licenses less than what we required, and looking for efficiently using the same, is there any way, i mean if we reduce "user idle timeout" is it reduce our license consumption?

any kind help appreciated...

thank you,

License Count

A Cisco ISE user consumes a license during an active session. Once the sessions has ended, ISE releases the license for reuse by another user.

The Cisco ISE license is counted as follows:

A Base, Plus, or Advanced license is consumed based on the feature that is used.
An endpoint with multiple network connections can consume more than one license per MAC address. For example, a laptop connected to wired and also to wireless at the same time. Licenses for VPN connections are based on the IP address.
Licenses are counted against concurrent, active sessions. An active session is one for which a RADIUS Accounting Start is received but RADIUS Accounting Stop has not yet been received.

Hi Abhishek,

thanks for your reply, i already read that article which you have sent, it gives detail ISE consumption of licenses, but i need to know if USER join our wireless network and his device IDLE for about 30 mins or 1 hour then its waste of our 1 license, how to tackle this to utilize that license smartly.?

i found "User Idle timeout" setting, but i don't know what possible difference it makes to licensing, if anyone has any information regarding this setting, please share.

thank you,

Hi Moin,thank you for your

Hi Moin,
