I would like to the ASA5510 Base license upgrade to Security Plus license. But after the upgrade is still the license of the Base

I think I was wrong option selected in the process of upgrading, how should I do to be successful upgrade

[Karsten Iwen]

The key you pasted in is not the one that upgrades to SecurityPlus.

How did you get the license? Normally you get a PAK with a number that you enter on http://tools.cisco.com/SWIFT/LicensingUI/Home. After some minutes you get your activation-key by mail.

If that was the key you got, then write a mail to licensing@cisco.com and they can send you the right key.

Hi Desh,

The key which you have used for activation is the same key that is exist in the ASA. So ASA will not have any changes when you give the same key which is already installed. You should have the different key which should be an licensed key for sec plus bundle.
