ASA5506-SEC-BUN-K9 licensing and EOL

[matt.juddo]

I am looking at purchasing 2 x ASA5506-SEC-BUN-K9 to run in an active/standby pair but can see that some ASA5506 are now EOL. I need to add the following licenses but am unsure about whether EOL will affect the use of these licenses now or in a year or so. I am planning to add:

2 x CON-SNT-ASA550K9 (Smart Net)

1 x L-ASA5506T-TMC-1Y (Threat Defense, Malware and URL)

30 x L-AC-APX-1Y-S1 (AnyConnect Apex VPN users x 30)

Will I be able to add the above licenses (or are there any more I would need to add to get what I need - and will I be able to continue purchasing these licenses annually for the next say 3 years - or will the EOL affect this?

Thanks,

Matt

You should purchase Firepower 1010 instead. The 5506 already cannot run Firepower past version 6.2.3.x (6.6 is current).

Yes we would have done that but there is a worldwide shortage on the 1010s at the moment. Can't get the 1010s for at least 2 to 3 weeks and need these devices in 1 week.
