ASA 5512x with Firepower Licensing question

[morphotek]

I installed the SFR module on the ASA and ran through all the configuration.  I registered it to my FirePower Management Center, however I failed to add the license to the SFR prior to doing that and the Management Center is not seeing my smart license for it so I'm unsure as to how to add the license at this point.  Can I unregister the SFR from the management center to add the license through ASDM or is that not possible at this point is there another way to get the license added.

thanks for any help

The FirePOWER services module on the ASA 5500-x series still uses classic licensing. You should use your Management Center and its licesing page - it has a license key that you use in the Cisco licensing portal to redeem your ASA FirePOWER license PAKs (protect+control, URL Filtering, and/or Advanced Malware). Once redeemed, you assigned them to the managed ASA FirePOWER module.

The problem is that within the management center on the licensing page it is showing 0 for the number of licenses for any of the modules purchased and when I click edit I get an message about no smart license devices being managed.  So how do I add the licenses that I purchased for the devices into the management center.  I synchronized the management center with the smart license server and that didn't do it.

These are all classic licenses. Don't use smart licenses for this purpose. Smart licenses are for FTD (and ASA when running on a FirePOWER 4100 or 9300 series).

You should have a PAK for the licenses you purchased. You combine the license key in FMC with those PAKs in Cisco license portal. You then paste the resultant licenses into FMC and apply them to the managed devices.
