Hello Network Security Community,
We have a new FPR-1010, without additional feature subscription. What are the options to license it when both Internet access and FMC are not available? We do have a Smart account though.
Thanks for your advice and help!

Hi @Ben Lau
If you do not have a path to the internet for the system, you cannot use Smart Licensing. Instead, switch to Permanent License Reservation (PLR) mode. For detailed information, see Applying Permanent Licenses in Air-Gapped Networks.

Hi Rob,
Thank you for your advice. You are correct. I can use PLR and that is a solution.
Just FYI - I tried to follow the PLR steps, and ran into an error after entering the request code into our Smart Account portal. I am working with Cisco TAC to see why. TAC asked why not use FMC and/or satellite, which we have. However, our FMC / satellite is so far away from the firewall (avg latency is >400ms). I was not able to register the firewall to our FMC. Thus, I believe PLR is the solution especially when I only need the Base license for this firewall.

Thanks again Rob.
Just to share with the community. I successfully obtained the PLR license and applied it to our firewall.
I had to contact Cisco TAC to enable the use of PLR on our Smart Account. I mistakenly assumed it was already enabled.
After that, I had to call our vendor to generate and put the necessary Universal license specific to the firewall model into our Smart Account. Then, I just followed the simple (few) steps of PLR.
