virtual ESA - Do Virtual licenses are complementary to smart license ?

Hello,

 

I received alerts for my virtual ESA cluster virtual license that are about to expire : 

The Warning message is:
Your "Virtual Appliance License File" key will expire in under 15 day(s). Please contact your authorized Cisco sales representative.

 

I was wondering since I do not use traditional license but smart license if these are still mandatory to keep services running or I just have to care about my smart licenses ? Smart license do replace entirely the virtual license or I need to generate a new one ?

As per i know you have 2 options, Feature keys, and smart license, if you have purchased License and have feature keys, those automatically update based on the Serial number.

 

if you moved to smart License, you need do smart License.  check what License you have and purchased.

 

as per license concern you have until 2023

Hello Balaji,

 

Thank for your answer. So If I understood correctly, If I moved from a traditional licenses (Pak to Smart Account) I don't have to care anymore for the virtual license alert and only have to watch my smart portal account ?

Rgds,
Victor

yes if you moved to smart license that is the one you need to look.

 

I believe 14.X  onwards smart license only i guess(if i remember correctly)
