hi All,
We have bought a unit of Cisco WSA S170 appliance last year.
Apparently we bought the following as below
S170-BUN-R-AP | Cisco IronPort S170, Standard Configuration Production Unit | 1 |
WBUN-1A-EN-DBC-1Y | Single Appliance Bundles (1 Year), WUC+WREP+ASPY+AV | 400 |
I would like to know if the above includes the 400user qty license as mentioned?
If so, how can I tell from the appliance web gui; if indeed it came with 400user license
I am very puzzled as i was NEVER aware that the WSA S170 came with user licenses. All these while i am aware that it only came with yearly subscription license.
Can anyone give me some insight of whether this is correct? Or perhaps our ordering team made an error ordering 400qty

The "security suite" eg. antivirus/web reputation/etc. is licensed per seat, and you renew on a per seat basis. In a sense they're decoupling the box from the software because these days, you may also get license to the WSAv (a VM version of the WSA). You can deploy as many WSAv's as you need, based on your load, config/whatever...
If you have 400 users, 400 qty is correct...

Thanks for the explaination.
Then again, is there a day to show that indeed the box is licensed with 400users? any indication of somesort
On the Web Gui feature keys; only shows its expiry date.
Appreciate any advise.

Try the cli command
#>showlicense
Regardless of what the seat count is the box will pass traffic if you exceed the count. We do not shut down users because the box has exceeded the license count. Performance may suffer for that time period due to over-subscription.

No, licenses are tied to the company not the hardware so if you purchase 1000 licenses it would be applied X number of units. You will have to maintain SmartNet support on each individual device.

Hi Tommy,
Thanks for your kindly reply. In this case, how i have to request the license file for both appliance. In order, i will be able to apply this license in each one appliance and not show as expired or invalid.
Regards
