SMA licensing

[Group IT]

Hi all!

We have 4 x WSA S395's all licenced for 350 users. We are now introducing an SMA M395 for all of the WSA's to connect to for central management and reporting.

We need the following licenses:

Cisco Centralized Web Configuration Manager and Cisco Centralized Web Reporting.

As we are already licenced for 350 users on the WSA which is doing all of the filtering, do we need to licence the SMA for another 3580 users? Or do we need to just licence it for 4 WSA's to connect to?

Also, can anyone advice the part number for these two licenses?

Thanks in advance!

You need only  "Cisco Centralized Web Configuration Manager and Cisco Centralized Web Reporting."

Hi @Group IT,

Yes, when introducing SMA into your deployment, you'll need to have 'Cisco Centralized Web Configuration Manager and Cisco Centralized Web Reporting' license.

You will need to purchase it for the same number of users, like you have for WSA. Fortunately, it is much cheaper then WSA license.

There was an old product id 'SMA-WMGT-LIC', but it can't be purchased like this anymore. It must be purchased under parent 'WEB-SEC-SUB'.

BR,
