AnyConnect 4: How to indetify if user uses PLUS or APEX license?

Michael Muenz

Level 5

Hey guys,

I'm running a 5506X active/passive system with a 25 users AnyConnect PLUS and a 25 users AnyConnect APEX license.
A VPN user is logged in via AnyConnect and I have enabled the Hostscan agent (without ISE).

 

Now I'm not sure if this user is counted as PLUS or APEX, since it's not really clear how Hostscan without ISE ist handled.

Is there a show X command to tell me what license type a user takes?

 

Thanks!

Michael

Hi,

You can use "sh vpn-sessiondb license-summary"

This would show the license used by premium / essentials features. As the ASA still uses the this names for the license features.

My problem is, that Essentials is displayed as disabled in favor of Premium. 
Is this really the way Cisco goes?

I tried to get a demo license to figure this out, but demo license is only available as APEX and not PLUS. Now I'll buy a PLUS one and check if this works without ISE and/or APEX.

After:

Maximum Physical Interfaces       : Unlimited      perpetual
Maximum VLANs                     : 100            perpetual
Inside Hosts                      : Unlimited      perpetual

AnyConnect Premium Peers          : 250            perpetual
AnyConnect Essentials             : Disabled       perpetual
Other VPN Peers                   : 250            perpetual

Cluster                           : Enabled        perpetual
Cluster Members                   : 2              perpetual

 

Now I have 250 Premium VPN peers with a PLUS license? I don't know if Cisco really counts the users and only hopes the users out there will license correctly to earn money with license selling .. :(

Hostscan will be still a premium feature. You can see full details here :http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/vpn_client/anyconnect/anyconnect40/feature/guide/anyconnect40features.html#pgfId-65579

Abaji.

Any documents on how to share licenses on the new "Cisco AnyConnect Plus Migration License Group" model when deployed in a multi site/ASA environment?

You mean you have multiple ASA's around but the same users? 

Then you can just generate the license mutiple times for different SN's, that's not a problem.

I also have 2 A/P clusters in different DC's, it works.
