Cisco ISE 2.7 Perpetual License

[llomjaria]

Hello,

I have Cisco ISE 2.7 in HA (VMs) with 25000 Base licenses and Device admin license.

I have a question regarding licensing: If we do not upgrade to version 3.1 should we be able to use ISE after October 31 2023?

Smart Licensing is available on 2.7 as well. You can convert your existing licenses to a smart account and register ISE with smart licensing.

I understand, but if we do not convert licenses to smart and continue to use product as is, will we have problems after October 31?

As is, Base licenses are permanent.  As long as you stay on 2.7, you don't need to do anything with your base licenses.  Keep in mind though its probably time to start thinking about an upgrade: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/security/identity-services-engine/bulletin-c25-2943876.html
