the chassis and the Smart Software Manager. It also assigns the chassis to the appropriate virtual account.

that you have not yet purchased. You can start using a license immediately, as long as you are registered with

• Threat—Security Intelligence and Next-Generation IPS
• Malware—Malware
• URL—URL Filtering
• RA VPN—AnyConnect Plus, AnyConnect Apex, or AnyConnect VPN Only
