Kasun, thank you for your reply!

Could you please clarify something for me? I found out that we purchased L-AC-PLS-1Y-S1 and it will expire in several mounts.

Am I right that if this licence will expire the only thing I lost will be inability to receive support and download updates? But all features will work as usual (I mean VPN connections, tunnels, etc.). Am I right?

Thank you in advance!

Hello @arudakov 

L-AC-PLS-1Y-S1 is a term license meaning that once it is expired you will lose the right to use this license (e.g. AnyConnect VPN). If the ASA still allows VPN sessions to connect is a different matter but you will be technically in violation of the license terms.
