Feature History for Licensing
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.
The following commands were modified: 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.
The following command was modified: activation-key
[activate | deactivate].
AnyConnect Premium SSL VPN Edition license
changed to AnyConnect Premium SSL VPN
license 8.3(1) The AnyConnect Premium SSL VPN Edition license name
was changed to the AnyConnect Premium SSL VPN
license.
No Payload Encryption image for export 8.3(2) If you install the No Payload Encryption software on the
ASA 5505 through 5550, then you disable Unified
Communications, strong encryption VPN, and strong
encryption management protocols.
Note This special image is only supported in 8.3(x); for
No Payload Encryption support in 8.4(1) and later,
you need to purchase a special hardware version of
the ASA.
Increased contexts for the ASA 5550, 5580, and
5585-X 8.4(1) For the ASA 5550 and ASA 5585-X with SSP-10, the
maximum contexts was increased from 50 to 100. For the
ASA 5580 and 5585-X with SSP-20 and higher, the
maximum was increased from 50 to 250.
Increased VLANs for the ASA 5580 and
5585-X 8.4(1) For the ASA 5580 and 5585-X, the maximum VLANs was
increased from 250 to 1024.
