Licencing for RME as part of CSM

[berndtonn]

Dear all,

we plan to purchase Cisco Security Manager in the Professional-50 version only, because currently we have less than 50 security devices. As far as we know RME is part of the bundle. We have about 200 ordinary routers and would like to manage them with RME. Does the limitation to 50 devices apply the the RME functions (like software and configuration management) as well or only to the security functions (such as configuring firewalls and IPS-devices) ? Thank you very much for your hints.

RME is an addtional optional component and from the product description I'm making the swag that its only in the Professional bundles licenced at 50 devices out of the box and additional licences are available at 100, 500 and 1000 levels. Security Manager Standard is locked to either 5 or 25 devices total, no additional licences can be applied.

(FYI I use to work for Fresenius USA after they bought National Medical Care)
