Verify ASA license

[Hendrik01]

Hi,

We received a second-hand firewall for testing (not through official channels), but I would like to check if the security plus license it came with is real, because I heard somewhere that they could be fake.

How would I go about checking the legitimacy of the license?

PS  licensing@cisco.com does not work

Cisco License team may not entertain if the device is EOL or EOS,

what is this device model ?  you can check show license / show activation-key /  show version give you full details.

Note : if the License is register with other company it is not transferable, until it was merged 2 organizations.

It is a 5515-X, EOS 2022. When I send a mail to that address it just auto replies that it has not created a case.

You should register device.before you raise any ticket. with Cisco or License team,.

So there is no way to check if a device has a real license before registering the device?

if your CCO account have access you can check serial number validation :
