Cisco ASA/FXOS not able to add activation-key

[JoeNij]

Hello Gents,

I am trying to add the 3DES/AES license to a pair of Cisco ASA firewalls running on top of FirePower 2120 boxes ( re-imaged), I managed to get the activation keys from Cisco however the command line to introduce the new keys is not available on CLI, I don't have the 'activation-key' command.

Thank you

ASA logical devices running on Firepower appliances use Smart licensing exclusively. Register the ASA via Smart licensing and then you will be able to apply the 3DES-AES license.

Thank you fir your reply, is there any documentation for registering the ASA using SMART licensing please ? A step-by-step guide would be very appreciated
