Does the FPR family, specifically the FPR1010 support the “License Reservation” feature of off-line Smart Licensing? If so, how does one create a “Reservation Request Code” on the FPR1010?
If you're running FTD on your Firepower 1010 and using local management (Firepower Device Manager - FDM), the Permanent License Reservation (PLR) feature is not supported as of version 6.5.
We expect this feature in 6.6, coming in 1H CY 2020. When using PLR, your Smart Account must also be enabled for it.
So I know this is an older post but I’m just receiving my first round of 1010s and the have 6.6 installed and i still don’t see an option for offline registration or license registration, or on premises for that matter. Has anyone successfully manage to do this or know how or if available yet?
when entered the switch to universal PLR , and copy the request code to smart license reservation, appears error as shown the attached image, how to enable !!
We encountered the same error and opened the case with L2 Licensing OPS
. Their advice is as follows:
we have provisioned the licenses but customer want to use them offline
As the provisioned licenses wont support PLR, suggested to contact the account team for further assistance.
Once the PLR license, provision to the smart account, will be able to enable the PLR option for the smart account.
Our reseller/sales account has no idea on how to make the provisioned licenses to support PLR. They've never heard about it. We asked the Cisco what the license order number for the PLR. He told us this is out of their scope. We totally got stuck in there. Anyone has idea how to solve this or which Cisco channel we should escalate?
Unfortunately PLR requires a Cisco AM to sponsor the request. It is not an automatic entitlement that can simply be ordered. It is generally reserved for customers in government (e.g., military or intelligence) situations where Internet connectivity is strictly not allowed.
