Is it possible to use SmartLicense in both SmartLicense and PAK form?

[brettp]

We had several ASAs sharing the same traditional / PAK license for AnyConnect. Several of the ASAs have been replaced by FTDs which are now using a new, separate AnyConnect SmartLicense. So at this time, we have two separate AnyConnect licenses in use when in theory, we only need one which could be shared among all devices. The PAK license is coming up for renewal so I am now wondering... is it possible use to the same license as a SmartLicense with the FTDs, but somehow generate a license key with the traditional PAK method for the ASAs? Or do we really need two separate licenses now? I can't find anything about it on the Cisco site, so any information is appreciated! Thanks!

if the ASA code support smart License (new version suppoprt) you convert PAK to smart License and use (that is the best i can think off)

contact License team they are helpful (license@cisco.com) or you can chat with from support.

Thank you for the reply. As I understand it, the ASA does not support Smart Licensing... I am using an ASA-5515X. Does some version of the OS start support for Smart Licensing? I suppose I can contact support or licensing, but if you have a quick and easy answer, let me know. I can't find it!

Sorry, I am just now seeing your edited response. So it seems it is not supported as right at the top it says "Smart Software Licensing is not supported on ASA hardware models."

yes, that is correct .. sorry if I have misguided you before...later I realized its hardware ASA.
