Applying additional Security Context license to a ASA 5525 x in Active/Active

[Rasmus Kiilerich]

Hi

I have a Active/Active setup of 2 ASA5525x with a total of 4 Security Contexts

I need to increase the total amount of contexts to 8. I was thinking of purching 2 PAK licenses (2 to 5 SC) and apply each PAK to each  ASA in the setup.

To my understanding that will give me a total of 10 usable contexts right?

Also do I apply the license to each nodes from the admin context on each node (Pri / Sec) or from the system context?

I cannot find any ref. in CISCO documentation on how to apply licenses to a Active/Active setup.

You have two ASAs, one with 20 contexts and the other with 10 contexts; the combined license allows 30 contexts. For Active/Active failover, the contexts are divided between the two units. One unit can use 18 contexts and the other unit can use 12 contexts, for example, for a total of 30.

The license is applied from the system context on each device.
