If you attempt to configure any features that can use strong encryption before you register—even if you only
configure weak encryption—then your HTTPS connection will be dropped on that interface, and you cannot
reconnect. The exception to this rule is if you are connected to a management-only interface, such as
Management 1/1. SSH is not affected. If you lose your HTTPS connection, you can connect to the console
port to reconfigure the ASA, connect to a management-only interface, or connect to an interface not configured
for a strong encryption feature.
Note
When you request the registration token for the ASA from the Smart Software Manager, check the Allow
export-controlled functionality on the products registeredwith this token check box so that the full Strong
Encryption license is applied (your account must be qualified for its use). The Strong Encryption license is
automatically enabled for qualified customers when you apply the registration token on the chassis, so no
additional action is required. If your Smart Account is not authorized for strong encryption, but Cisco has
determined that you are allowed to use strong encryption, you can manually add a strong encryption license
to your account.
Before you begin
• Have a master account on the Smart Software Manager.
If you do not yet have an account, click the link to set up a new account. The Smart Software Manager
lets you create a master account for your organization.
• Your Smart Software Manager account must qualify for the Strong Encryption (3DES/AES) license to
use some features (enabled using the export-compliance flag).
Procedure
Step 1 Make sure your Smart Licensing account contains the available licenses you need, including at a minimum
the Essentials license.
When you bought your device from Cisco or a reseller, your licenses should have been linked to your Smart
Software Manager account. However, if you need to add licenses yourself, use the Find Products and
Solutions search field on the Cisco Commerce Workspace. Search for the following license PIDs:
Figure 120: License Search
• Essentials license—L-FPR2100-ASA=. The Essentials license is free, but you still need to add it to your
Smart Software Licensing account.
• 5 context license—L-FPR2K-ASASC-5=. Context licenses are additive; buy multiple licenses to meet
your needs.
