Licensing Requirements for the High Availability and Scalability
Wizard
The following table shows the licensing requirements for this feature:
Model License Requirement
All models Base License for failover only.
ASA 5510, ASA 5520, or ASA 5540 Plus License with 3DES or AES active for VPN cluster load balancing. The security
appliance checks for the existence of this license before enabling load balancing. If
it does not detect an active 3DES license or AES license, the security appliance
prevents the enabling of load balancing and internal configuration of 3DES by the
load balancing system (unless the license permits this usage).
