SSL VPN licensing on Cisco ISR G2 2921?

[ryabutler]

Hi, quick question.  We have a CISCO 2921/K9 which has the securityk9 feature set (reflects Permanent under show version)

I thought that included SSL VPN, but doing a "show license all" it doesn't reflect that:

StoreIndex: 4   Feature: SSL_VPN                           Version: 1.0

        License Type: EvalRightToUse

        License State: Active, In Use

            Evaluation total period: 8  weeks 4  days

            Evaluation period left: 8  weeks 2  days

            Period used: 1  day  5  hours

            Transition date: Jan 11 2013 23:05:41

        License Count: 100/0  (In-use/Violation)

        License Priority: Low

Can someone please provide some clarification?

Thank you!

securityK9 does not include the SSL VPN license. This just enable the security features on the ISRG2, and you would need this license to run SSL VPN, plus the SSL VPN license itself.

Here is the URL for your reference:

To run SSL VPN, you would need both securityK9 and SSL VPN license.

I was afraid that was going to be the answer.  I find it amazing that Cisco always nickle-and-dime their SSL VPN option in their products, but using IPSec VPN for remote access is included with securityK9 without any extra cost.

Thanks for the response Jennifer, I do appreciate.
