Solved: Re: Early Access for Access Manager - Licensing?

JonnyAwesome · ‎02-12-2025

Looks like Access Manager is in public preview which is a cloud alternative for NAC.

Can anyone confirm what licensing is needed? The doco I have read doesn’t go into it too much.

Please note that - we are working on couple of flexible licensing options for General Availability (GA) to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Advanced license is one of the options. We will provide more details soon.

If you have these devices they are capable of using Access Manager ... I don't think any other license required

I can't imagine it will be free after the preview (if it's even free then) based on the type of product. There has also been no partner briefing on it so I'm as clueless as you. I could maybe see it being included with advantage licensing.

Hoping someone can talk about it soon!!

Whoa, that looks good! I see my beloved ISE being replaced here and there.

While it serves many of the same purposes, it's not a replacement of ISE.

From the Slideware I've seen it opens for more integration directly with EntraID in combination with differet EAP methods.

Hi

Do you have any update about Access Manager license options?

Can you confirm, if we need MR advanced license or any other license?

I am currently designing a Wi-Fi solution with Entra ID integration and I need to know the necessary licensing.

Thnks in advanced.
