Feature History for Licensing
Shared Licenses for SSL VPN 8.2(1) Shared licenses for SSL VPN were introduced. Multiple
ASAs can share a pool of SSL VPN sessions on an
as-needed basis.
Mobility Proxy application no longer requires
Unified Communications Proxy license
8.2(2) The Mobility Proxy no longer requires the UC Proxy
license.
10 GE I/O license for the ASA 5585-X with
SSP-20
8.2(3) We introduced the 10 GE I/O license for the ASA 5585-X
with SSP-20 to enable 10-Gigabit Ethernet speeds for the
fiber ports. The SSP-60 supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet
speeds by default.
Note The ASA 5585-X is not supported in 8.3(x).
10 GE I/O license for the ASA 5585-X with
SSP-10
8.2(4) We introduced the 10 GE I/O license for the ASA 5585-X
with SSP-10 to enable 10-Gigabit Ethernet speeds for the
fiber ports. The SSP-40 supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet
speeds by default.
Note The ASA 5585-X is not supported in 8.3(x).
Non-identical failover licenses 8.3(1) Failover licenses no longer need to be identical on each unit.
The license used for both units is the combined license from
the primary and secondary units.
We modified the following commands: show
activation-key and show version.
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 ASA 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
time
8.3(1) You can now install multiple time-based licenses, and have
one license per feature active at a time.
We modified the following commands: show
activation-key and show version.
Discrete activation and deactivation of
time-based licenses.
8.3(1) You can now activate or deactivate time-based licenses
using a command.
We modified the following commands: activation-key
[activate | deactivate].
