To register the device now, click the link to log into your Smart Software Manager account, and see Configure
Licensing, on page 72.
To use the evaluation license, select Start 90 day evaluation period without registration.
If you plan to onboard the device to CDO, we recommend using the evaluation license until you
onboard the device. Any additional licenses you register with the Smart Software Manager will
have to be unregistered before you can onboard to CDO, and then registered again.
Note
Step 5 Click Finish.
What to do next
• Although you can continue using the evaluation license, we recommend that you register and license
your device if using FDM; see Configure Licensing, on page 72.
• You can also choose to onboard the device to CDO. If so, you should register and license your device
after you onboard; see Onboard the FTD to CDO, on page 42.
• You can also choose to configure the device using FDM; see Configure the Device in Firepower Device
Manager, on page 78.
Configure Licensing
The FTD uses Cisco Smart Software Licensing, which lets you purchase and manage a pool of licenses
centrally.
When you register the chassis, the License Authority issues an ID certificate for communication between the
chassis and the License Authority. It also assigns the chassis to the appropriate virtual account.
The Base 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 Cisco 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:
• Threat—Security Intelligence and Cisco Firepower Next-Generation IPS
• Malware—Advanced Malware Protection for Networks (AMP)
• URL—URL Filtering
• RA VPN—AnyConnect Plus, AnyConnect Apex, or AnyConnect VPN Only
Before you begin
• Have a master account on the Cisco 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 Cisco Smart Software Licensing account must qualify for the Strong Encryption (3DES/AES)
license to use some features (enabled using the export-compliance flag).
