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 ------------------------------------------

The flash permanent activation key is the SAME as the running permanent key.
Below is another firewall with 25 Anyconnect Essentials license.

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.
