Secure client license renewal

[Vishal6]

Hi All,

I have brought secure client licenses and wants to renew it on fmc. Do i need to just refresh authorization or anything else need to do

If I understand your question correctly, you have purchased Secure Client licenses and you want to synch them with the FMC? if that is the case, I would assume that your FMC is connected with your smart account. If so, those Secure Client licenses should be aligned to your smart account, and they should show up on the FMC next time the FMC checks against your smart account. Or, after your renew the FMC authorization.

i have renew the subscription period for secure client license. As per your inputs it seems i have to renew the authorization code ?. 

Does renewing authorization code have any impact in production ?. if i renew the authorization code does it will override the other licenses in complaince ?

While you can manually refresh the authorization, it's not strictly necessary.

Just make sure the renewed licenses show up in your Smart Account to which the FMC is registered. If so, it (FMC that is) will automatically see and use them when it periodically checks in to the cloud (or to an on-prem satellite server for those reading this who may use that method).

Hi Vishal,

To renew Secure Client licenses on FMC, typically you need to:

1. Upload the renewed license file or apply the license update via the Cisco licensing portal.

2. In FMC, go to System > Licenses > Smart Licenses and refresh the authorization to sync FMC with Cisco Smart Licensing.

3. Verify the license status shows as active and updated.

Usually, refreshing authorization is sufficient once the new license is applied, but always ensure the license is correctly uploaded or assigned before that step.
