ASA Multiple Time-based Licenses

[johnlloyd_13]

hi all,

i'm adding an additional time-based anyconnect VPN license on an ASA 5510 that serves as a dedicated anyconnect VPN server.

there's a trial license installed last time and now i'll be installing a 3-year anyconnect VPN license:

L-AC-APXM-S-3-5K Cisco AnyConnect 3-Yr 5K User Apex Migration (ASA Key)  

refer to link below and just to confirm, if i activated the license key for L-AC-APXM-S-3-5K on this box i would have 3 years + 24 TOTAL days for Anyconnect Premium Peers?

I am a little uncertain if the new Plus and Apex licenses if they follow the same logic as the old licenses.  If they do then the new 5K user license will deactive the 250 user license once it is activated.  All new documentation indicate that non-identical licenses will not stack, but it will remain installed and can be activated again at a later date.
