Configure Smart Licensing
The FMC itself does not require licenses, but if you plan to manage Firepower Threat Defense devices, you
need to create a Smart Account if you do not already have one, and purchase the Smart Licenses you need to
support threat and malware detection and URL filtering features. Visit
setup#accountcreation-account. For information, see https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/buy/smart-accounts.html.
FTD devices come with a base license that allow you to:
• configure FTD devices to perform switching and routing (including DHCP relay and NAT).
• configure FTD devices as a high availability pair.
• configure security modules as a cluster within a Firepower 9300 chassis (intra-chassis clustering)
• configure Firepower 9300 or Firepower 4100 series devices running Firepower Threat Defense as a
• implement user and application control by adding user and application conditions to access control rules
Threat and malware detection and URL filtering features require additional, optional licenses. As you plan
your deployment, determine how many FTD devices the FMC will manage and what features you need to
license for each.
Note
This document provides a streamlined version of the instructions for configuring Smart Licensing, useful for
customers already familiar with the process. If you are new to Firepower and Smart Licensing, or if you need
to configure Smart Licensing for an air-gapped deployment, devices using high availability, clustered devices,
multitenancy, or export-controlled functionality, see the
for your version.
For Firepower Versions 6.5+: If you already have a Smart Account, have purchased licenses and are familiar
with Smart Licensing you can use the dialog box the system displays after you have completed the Initial
Configuration Wizard. Alternatively, after completing the wizard you can use the same license configuration
process as for Versions 6.2 - 6.4.
For Firepower Versions 6.2 - 6.4: Add Smart licenses after completing initial setup. For each license:
• Obtain a product license registration token for Smart Licensing from the Cisco Smart Software Manager
• Use the token to register the FMC to CSSM.
• When you add a managed FTD to the FMC, assign the license to the device.
