License question (ASA)

[arudakov]

I have license L-AC-PLS-1Y-S1 which is going to expire in few month. My question is which services I will lose if it expires. I suppose that in my case I will lose ability to download patches and updates and support but all services such as VPN connections and tunnels will work. Am I right?

I have ASA5508 and when I use the show version command I have this output:

@arudakov should continue to work, but you should renew if you continue to use the features.

Yes, you'd lose the ability to download anyconnect udpates from the cisco website if you don't renew.

Agree with @Rob Ingram 

I also note your output indicates you have "AnyConnect Premium Peers : 100".

"Premium" is equivalent licensing-wise to "Apex", not "Plus" licenses. "Plus" licenses would appear as "Essentials" in the show version output.
