Hello, guys
Could you please help me with two questions?
I have installed anyconnect plus license (AC-PLS-1YR-25-S) on a hardware ASA 5512x, is it possible to move this license to ASAv in the future?
if I will buy ASAv5 (L-ASAV5S-K9=) and in the future I will need to upgrage throughput to ASAv10. In this case I will need to buy a new lisence for ASAv10 (L-ASAV10S-K9=) with no other options?
Best regards,
Denis

This comment is in 2015, but I am confused with AnyConnect licenses as well, if I have ASAv10, that supports 250 VPN, do we still need AnyConnect license? if so is it possible to have two bundle of AnyConnect licenses attached to it?

@SamoSam83 no need to bump old threads.
Yes you are still required to have AnyConnect/Secure Client licenses.

Note the AC-PLS-1YR-25-S is a 1 year term license. On the ASA 5512-X is is a classic license type. You will need to migrate it to a Smart license in your software.cisco.com portal.
At that point, you can associate the ASAv (or any other firewall that uses Smart licenses - such as FTD) with the license as long as the term remains active.
The AnyConnect/Secure Client smart licenses are per number of unique users and not limited to how many firewalls can draw from that pool of licenses.
