ISE STANDALONE DEPLOYMENT ON VM 6.5

[akash.tiwari]

Hi Team,

can someone help me regarding the license.

I have a cisco UCS m5 server and we need to install virtual ISE for our enterprise network. 

What kind of licenses do we have to buy for VM and ISE both

You can look at the ISE ordering guide for SKUs

You will need esxi/vmware licensing, or another supported hypervisor ISE can run on.

For ISE licensing though;
1. You need to buy a VM license per ISE VM you deploy, they come in small, medium and large and you order depending on the required scale. Each VM template from 35x5 to 36x5 fall within these three models.

2. You will need ISE authentication licenses, base, plus, and apex depending on the features you plan to leverage.

The ordering guide covers the use cases for endpoint authentication licensing.
