Stackable time-based licenses 8.3(1) Time-based licenses are now stackable. In many cases, you
might need to renew your time-based license and have a
seamless transition from the old license to the new one. For
features that are only available with a time-based license, it
is especially important that the license not expire before you
can apply the new license. The adaptive security appliance
allows you to stack time-based licenses so you do not have
to worry about the license expiring or about losing time on
your licenses because you installed the new one early.
Intercompany Media Engine License 8.3(1) The IME license was introduced.
Multiple time-based licenses active at the same
