What to buy to upgrade my ASA 5505 Licences

[kevin.mcgillicuddy]

I have a Cisco ASA 5505 with the basic 10 user VPN licensces and would like to upgrade them

I need help in selecting a upgrade pack that will allow me to upgrade to 25 ot 50 users

Thanks

Hi Kevin,

The jump from 10 user is straight to 50. The part number you want to order is ASA5505-SW-10-50=

Hope it helps.

If you think that you may need to go to unlimited users some day buy that license instead. It's cheaper to go to unlimited users than to go from 10 to 50 then to unlimited.

The 10 to unlimited user part number is ASA5505-SW-10-UL=

The part number is for user licenses so it will not increase the number of VPN user licenses. What type of VPN are you using?

[kmcgillicuddy10]

Ipsec I believe

[kmccourt]

If you upgrade to an ASA 5505 Security Plus license (ASA5505-SEC-PL=) it will upgrade your IPsec VPN peers from 10 to 25.
