ASA licenses

[Bekzod Fakhriddinov]

Hi guys . I got 5506-x and first time will do installation from the scratch (before i was working with installed asa firewalls  ). I got confused a little bit ASA says "This platform has a Base license." So does it mean I must upgrade a licenses on it ?

If yes, what is the steps to do it ? 

Thank you

You don't have to upgrade the ASA if you are fine with what the Base license gives you. But if you need more (connections/VPNs/Failover ...) then you need the SecurityPlus license.
