Question migration from ise base to essential

[SvenBaumann03231]

Hi,

sorry i could not finde the answer in the community.

I need to migrate from.

2 x R-ISE-VM-K9= 

1 x L-ISE-BSE-1K=

to ISE essential.

Can anybody help me with the SKUs.

Thanks

Sven

It is described in the licensing guide:

For the VM licenses the SKU is "R-ISE-VMC-K9=", and for the Essentials I think it is "E3S-ISE-ESS" or similar.

The TAC can convert any existing ISE VM licenses to VMC - free of charge.

They no longer convert the Base Licenses to Essentials - that offer expired Oct 2023. There is an extension to this "One Year On Us" which I interpret as "If you purchase X number of 3-yr Essentials licenses before 31 Oct 2024, then you only pay for 2 years, and Cisco throws in one year for free - making it a three year subscriptional purchase".  But you can't do anything useful with those Base/Plus licenses.
