HA pairing possibility? two ASA5520s- one with Anyconnect Essentials the other with Anyconnect Plus licensing - can these two equivalent license types HA pair successfully?

[hmcandrew]

I have two ASA5520s ... one has 750 Anyconnect Essentials licenses and the other has 750 Anyconnect Plus licenses.

Can these two successfully HA Pair or do I need to have them both on the same exact license type?  i.e. both on Anyconnect Plus....

Thanks!

Hi hmcandrew,

As far as I know you need to exact ASA's one from the other one to be able to run in failover mode.

Maybe if you run them in a vpn load-balancing set up they will be able to work, but this won't give you HA.
