SourceFire Unlicensed

[Kurt Lei]

Dear All,

I have a pair of ASA5516-X and registered the control, URL and malware license in ASDM successfully.

Later, I have registered the ASAs into the VM FirePower Management Center but it shows "Unlicensed" of the ASA. 

I have doubted that should I re-host the licenses in order to register in the FMC ? 

Thanks.

Kurt

I have not licensed any devices via ASDM, so I don't know about license generation procedure for that, but what I'm pretty sure about - licences are generated separately for the FMC as there is a unique license key for a FMC that consists partly from MAC address of the FMC network interface. That is used to generate the license. When the license is added to the FMC, you can assign that licensed feature further to ASA FP module.
