2. License Requirements

ASA Licenses
The ASA 5506-X includes the Base or Security Plus license, depending on the version you ordered. It also comes pre-installed with
the Strong Encryption (3DES/AES) license if you qualify for its use. You can optionally purchase an AnyConnect Plus or Apex
license.
If you need to manually request the Strong Encryption license (which is free), see http://www.cisco.com/go/license.
If you want to upgrade from the Base license to the Security Plus license, or purchase an AnyConnect license, see
http://www.cisco.com/go/ccw. See also the
Questions (FAQ). You will then receive an email with a Product Authorization Key (PAK) so you can obtain the license activation
key. For the AnyConnect licenses, you receive a multi-use PAK that you can apply to multiple ASAs that use the same pool of user
sessions.
Note: The serial number used for licensing is different from the chassis serial number printed on the outside of your hardware. The
chassis serial number is used for technical support, but not for licensing. To view the licensing serial number, enter the show version
| grep Serial command or see the ASDM Configuration > Device Management > Licensing Activation Key page.
ASA FirePOWER Licenses
The ASA FirePOWER module uses a separate licensing mechanism from the ASA. No licenses are pre-installed, but the box
includes a PAK on a printout that lets you obtain a license activation key for the following licenses:

Control and Protection—Control is also known as "Application Visibility and Control (AVC)" or "Apps". Protection is also
known as "IPS". In addition to the activation key for these licenses, you also need "right-to-use" subscriptions for automated
updates for these features.
The Control (AVC) updates are included with a Cisco support contract.
