ASA LICENCE

[peteryouhannafawzy]

what is the use of the Security Contexts License  (ASA5500-SC-5) .?

[Dinesh Moudgil]

It is a license key for increasing the number of security contexts on ASA to 5.
Once you purchase the license key, you will get a PAK, and you can register that via the following:
https://tools.cisco.com/SWIFT/LicensingUI/Home
This will give you an activation key that you enter in your ASA.

And if you are unsure what Security Contexts are at all: They are used to build "virtual firewalls" inside of an physical ASA: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/asa93/configuration/general/asa-general-cli/ha-contexts.html
