I want to build up a small network of 3 branches and 1 headoffice . I wanted to use the cheapest and better solution avaliable to I came up with the following part numbers
For Headoffice
ASA5510-BUN-K9 ASA 5510 Appliance with SW, 5FE,3DES/AES
For Branches
ASA5505-BUN-K9 ASA 5505 Appliance with SW, 10 Users, 8 ports, 3DES/AES
I will be configure Site to Site VPNs which I am very sure will work peoperly with this . The only thing I am concerned about is that I may have 2 WAN links at each site so that I will need to configure backup Site to Site VPN link . If one link fails the other VPN session takes over and I am pretty much sure this requires IP SLA . Will I get IP SLA support on that ASA 5505 Base ?
Apart from that right now I am ordering a 5505 with a user license of 10 . What if the users in that branch grows to 15 , will I be able to upgrade it to ASA5505-50-BUN-K9 ?
Will I require any extra feature to fullfil my requirements ?

ASA5505 will have ip sla in base.
10 users licenses means that:
In routed mode, hosts on the inside (Business and Home VLANs) count toward the limit when they communicate with the outside (Internet VLAN), including when the inside initiates a connection to the outside as well as when the outside initiates a connection to the inside. Note that even when the outside initiates a connection to the inside, outside hosts are
not
counted toward the limit; only the inside hosts count. Hosts that initiate traffic between Business and Home are also not counted toward the limit. The interface associated with the default route is considered to be the outside Internet interface. If there is no default route, hosts on all interfaces are counted toward the limit. In transparent mode, the interface with the lowest number of hosts is counted toward the host limit. Use the
show local-host
command to view host limits.
For a 10-user license, the max. DHCP clients is 32. For 50 users, the max. is 128. For unlimited users, the max. is 250, which is the max. for other models.

So you need optional license for 50 or unlimited users count.
