pxGrid plus licensing count

[umahar]

Hi,

We need plus license for pxGrid. Does that mean in order to share contextual information for 50K endpoints we need to buy 50K plus licensing or a minimum plus license count should enable the functionality.

Here is our licensing page

under this page is the ordering guide and FAQ

please see table 8 and table 9 it explains what you’re looking for

If something is not clear please contact the mailer on the licensing page to contact our PM team

Thanks Jason. I read that. It looks like we would need equal number of plus and base licenses to support pxGrid. A 1:1 base to plus license count.

Hi Utkarsh,

Every session Info shared from ISE to the partner solution will consume a Plus license. Hence the need for 1:1 mapping with Base.

hope this helps,

Hi Hari,

When you say "partner solution" does that mean that sharing contextual information to Stealthwatch or Firepower (which is Cisco solution) will not consume a plus license for every session shared ?
