Hi
I have FMC version 6.2.3.7 and I add 4 firepower 8350 on it.
I have bought four FTD 4110 recently and I want to add them in my FMC, but when I want to add them, FMC show me below message:
“To add Firepower Threat Defense devices, register this console with the Smart Licensing Server.”
I have bought classic license for FTDs. I searched about this problem, but I don’t find the solution.
Do I have to buy smart license?
How can I add my FTDs without smart license(permanently/temporarily)?
Thanks

Hi,
To register FTD, you required smart license.
You can contact licensing@cisco.com to convert your existing license to smart.
Once license is activated in cisco smart account portal, generate a token from smart portal and add it in FMC. Then add your 4110 FTD into it.

Hi,
Below is the cisco doc for Firepower/FTD.

Smart vs. Classic
Licenses Firepower feature licenses depend on your device type:
• Smart Licenses are available forFirepower Threat Defense andFirepower Threat Defense Virtual devices.
• Classic licenses are available for 7000 and 8000Series, ASA FirePOWER, and NGIPSv devices. Devices that use Classic licenses are sometimes referred to as Classic devices.
• A single Firepower Management Center can manage both Classic and Smart Licenses.
