ASA5505 license issue

Level 1
Level 1

Hi there,

I got a strange issue here. Our company just bought 3 ASA5505 firewalls with Security Plus license for testing purpose.

At the beginning, everything is fine. However, yesterday I upgraded the IOS to the latest 8.44(1). Then the Anyconnect

Essentials license was disabled (previously it's 25). When I downgrade the IOS to the stock 8.43, the issue persists.

Below is the result of 'sh activation-key'

Serial Number:  JMX--------

Running Permanent Activation Key: 0xfd2be875 ------------------------------------------

Is there anyone who met this before? Please advise. Thanks!

A similar problem appeared on one of my ASAs. A mail to licensing@cisco.com was enough to receive an updated license-key.
