Hi,

If you are reimaging the version on sourcefire, then you don't need to worry about licenses, it remains the same and you don't need to move but if you are going for replacement then you need to email to licensing@cisco.com with your new license key so that they can bind the same licenses to new device.

Rate if it helps.

thanks,

Hello Team,

If you need to redeploy the Virtual  FMC then first of all you need to verify that you are using manual or automatic MAC in the Virtual Machine.

Power off the Virtual Machine and go to the settings and  make a note of your MAC address.

If the MAC starts with 00:50:56 then it’s a manual MAC and you can give the same MAC  after redeploying the FMC.

Redeploy the VM using the image for the virtual appliance.

Disable the option “power on the Virtual Machine after redeploy” .

Finish re-deploying the device.

Go to the Virtual Machine settings and change the option of MAC to manual and provide the same MAC as follows - 00:50:56:xx:xx:xx which you already noted before redeploy. Add that MAC address and save it. (MAC address provided is just a sample )

 Power on the Virtual Machine

 Later we will add the sensor.

If the MAC is not manual MAC, after redeploy  we should contact the Licensing team with the new MAC address to regenerate the license for the same.

OOO!! THANKS!!! One question! If i will have problems on new FMC can i shutdown it and start old FMC.Is it old FMS saved old settings?

Hello Team,

Unless you reinstall it , the settings will not be wiped :-) Thus if you still need the old one , you can use it.

Whenever you reinstall the FMC ,usually there wont be any issues.

Hello Team,

Are you going to reinstall the Firesight Management Center ? If the firesight management gets reinstalled and the license keys gets changed, then you have to regenerate the license.

Navigate to System > license > Add new license and in version 6.0 System > license > Classic License > Add new license , you can see a license key over there. Based on the license key only , the licensing team generates the license for the device.Thus note the license key and if its gets changed, then only contact the Licensing team under the following contact number.

• Licensing : +1 919-574-1701

If its a virtual firesight management center, then you have to redeploy the VM. In VM , if the MAC address gets changed (if its not manual MAC ) then you have to request the Licensing team to regenerate the License based on the new key.
