You have to give up the old licenses and buy new ones. There was a migration-promotion, but that's over for a long time.

I would buy PLUS or APEX instead of VPN-Only. These licenses can be uses for the actual 5540 and also for the new one(s) you purchase in the future.

Hi Karsten

Thanks for your reply , I means that do you have any cisco official illustrations that for old premium and  essentials after cisco has published the new license ？

Best Wishes

I do not really understand what you are now looking for.

But here we have the AnyConnect Ordering Guide which explains your actual options, the EOL notice for the old license and the AnyConnect Licensing FAQ which answers many questions around AC licensing.
