Hello! Has anyone with an FTD managed by FMC run into this issue? I am trying to upgrade the FTD os using the FMC wizard. When I go to push out the image file to the devices (2 devices as part of an HA pair) it seems to only push it out to one of the...

Hello, I am sorry for posting this as it's similar to existing posts, but there seems to be massive confusion across the board with migrating the "perpetual" FS-VMW-10-SW-K9 license to the SF-FMC-VMW-10-K9. Most documentation notes that this pertains...

Hello,We have two FTDs (FPR1140) in an HA pair managed via FMC. Currently, the inside interface is simply one port on each device linking back to a switch. It has been this way for several years -- so the inside interface is referenced everywhere thr...

I am little confused. What is the preferred or best method of restoring a re-imaged FTD (1000 series) that was part of an HA pair? Is it better to run a restore from backup... Or is better to simply configure the device with a barebones config and se...

Ultimately, contacted Cisco licensing and they indeed simply update it "on the back end." I was told by 4 people I need the new license, including two TAC techs and two Cisco Resellers. So, to anyone out there, beware, you don't need the new license....

Here are two screenshots. The one shows the new license being added 1/14/25 along with the old one. The other image shows the FMC (in SmartLicensing, not on the actual FMC appliance) showing that only the old PID is being used. Thanks!

Thank you for the information! Regarding option 2... if it's a perpetual license, how does the new license "take over," considering the old one never expires? I see them both in SmartLicensing but the PID of FMC in SmartLicensing still shows FS-VMW-1...

You're issue may or may not be the same as mine, but I ultimately fixed it, so I figured I'd post my fix in case anyone else finds this post with a similar situation. FMC was showing my DNS Server Group as good. My DNS Settings in Platform Settings a...
