ISE Secondary Node License

[bilalyasirabdullah]

Hi Team,

Please note that i am deploying 2 (Physical Appliances) ISE node as failover distributed deployment. and I want to activate Essential license. do i need to purchase licenses for both nodes, or just it is required for the primary node only?

Thanks,

@bilalyasirabdullah hi are you using device admin feature?

Hi Kasun,

Yes.

Physical appliances do not require licenses for the appliance itself. (VM-based deployments require a VM license per VM.)

Your Essentials licenses are for the whole deployment, no matter how many nodes.

Each node (physical or VM) running the Device Admin persona must have its own Device Admin license. So, in your case, you need two of those licenses.
