Configure Licensing
The threat defense uses Smart Software Licensing, which lets you purchase and manage a pool of licenses
centrally.
When you register the chassis, the Smart Software Manager issues an ID certificate for communication between
the chassis and the Smart Software Manager. It also assigns the chassis to the appropriate virtual account.

The Essentials license is included automatically. Smart Licensing does not prevent you from using product
features that you have not yet purchased. You can start using a license immediately, as long as you are registered
with the Smart Software Manager, and purchase the license later. This allows you to deploy and use a feature,
and avoid delays due to purchase order approval. See the following licenses:
• IPS—Security Intelligence and Next-Generation IPS
• Malware Defense—Malware defense
• URL—URL Filtering
• Cisco Secure Client—Secure Client Advantage, Secure Client Premier, or Secure Client VPN Only
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 Licensing 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.
When you bought your device from Cisco or a reseller, your licenses should have been linked to your Smart
Software License 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 27: License Search
If a PID is not found, you can add the PID manually to your order.
