CSEMAIL-SEC-SUB is a unified license which can applied to all types of deployment. You can apply this license to the physical gateway

Hello, 

Howto retrieve/install/download a licence for an on-prem-c195?   (antivirus/antispam)
(when smart software licencing is not enabled under System Administration)

assumption:
Goto/Look here and download a licence key file:
https://ccrc.cisco.com/subscriptions/landing
(search for SUB*****)
or goto:
https://software.cisco.com/software/swift/lrp/#/pak
is this true?

Assuming you're looking at any modern version, you will have to convert to Smart Licensing.
Also, when you renew you may be required to switch, otherwise the license team will send you keys when you renew.

Hello, 

thx for your message.

I prefer "licence team  will send on-prem-keys for non-smartlicence-devices" 
(because not much expericence with Smart licensing at the moment)

I opened a Case at: https://customerservice.cloudapps.cisco.com/  (search word subscription)  and talked with XaaS Operations Support Team.  

It turns out, that modifiy/change of the SUB***** at  https://ccrc.cisco.com/subscriptions/landing  is provided procedure. 
There is a form where to switch from cloud to on-prem-licences.
Disadvantage:  that would generate a further new Invoice.
I paused at this point.

Looks like "CSEMAIL-SEC-SUB"  was provided by mistake as Cloud Version. Do you think that could be the case?
