Firepower Management Centre 2000 licensing question on Max number of Firepower SFR modules

[dam0c0nr0y]

We have Firepower Management Centre 2000 appliances (Cisco part number: FS2000-K9) which manage Firepower SFR software modules which exist on Cisco ASA 5500-X series appliances.

In terms of licencing:

1. We are using Classic licencing (rather than Smart licence) model.
2. Each of the Firepower SFR software modules have an individual licence e.g. "ASA55xx-CTRL-LIC" depending on whether the ASA 5500-X series in which the Firepower SFR module is installed is a ASA 5525-X or ASA 5545-X model.
3. The FMC 2000 management appliance has a "FS2000-FSIGHT-LIC" licence installed.

Question: Can anyone confirm what the maximum number of Firepower SFR software modules which can be managed by a FMC 2000 management appliance running a "FS2000-FSIGHT-LIC" licence?

I have checked the Cisco support portal extensively (and Googled...) but have not been able to establish a definitive answer is to this question.

Do any of you know the answer?

Thanks

Damian

According to the datasheet, 250 sensors can be managed by the FS2000.

Now, from 6.0 version onward, you do not need the FireSight license on the Manager. Managed devices still require classic or Smart subscription feature licenses. In any case, 250 should be the max number of sensors it can manage.
