Configure Licensing
The FTD uses Cisco Smart Software Licensing, which lets you purchase and manage a pool of licenses
centrally.
When you register the chassis, the License Authority issues an ID certificate for communication between the
chassis and the License Authority. It also assigns the chassis to the appropriate virtual account.
The Base license is included automatically. Smart Licensing does not prevent you from using product features
that you have not yet purchased. You can start using a license immediately, as long as you are registered with
the Cisco Smart Software Manager, and purchase the license later. This allows you to deploy and use a feature,
and avoid delays due to purchase order approval. See the following licenses:
• Threat—Security Intelligence and Cisco Firepower Next-Generation IPS
