I recently puchased an ASA 5505 that came with the base license only to have to randomly pick devices to not allow internet access to. I found out that the base license only allows 10 inside hosts, so I upgraded to the Security Plus license. According to the link below, the Security Plus license includes:
Includes Cisco ASA 5505, unlimited users, 8-port Fast Ethernet switch, stateful firewall, 25 IPsec VPN peers, 2 SSL VPN peers, stateless Active/Standby high availability, dual ISP support, DMZ support, 3DES/AES license, and 1 expansion slot.

I installed the license and now in a show version I get:

This platform has an ASA 5505 Security Plus license.
Did I just waste $500 for nothing? I still have hosts that can't get out and a device that is really getting on my nerves when it decides to randomly deny internet access to devices.
