ASA Security Contexts limits

[Tauer Drumond]

Hi, I have an ASA in multiple context mode, with default 2 security contexts.

But, I've created a 3th security context, and I'm using it...

I didn't upgraded the license for more security contexts... how is that possible?

Thank you

Then you are lucky :)

show version ? you might have bought license by default.

Maybe one of the contexts you have is the admin context? Admin context does not count against license usage. So you can have Admin License + 2 additional contexts.

Another possibility is that you have a pair of ASA's in failover. Combined, they give you 4 contexts to use among the 2.
