β Frequently Asked Questions
πΉ Why do I need a Control license for my ASA 5506-X?
The Control license is the essential prerequisite to activate FirePOWER services on your ASA 5506-X. It unlocks application control (AVC) features that allow the identification and management of over 3000 applications. Without this license, you cannot use IPS, AMP, or URL filtering services, even if you have the corresponding subscription licenses.
πΉ What is the difference between the Control license and subscription licenses?
The Control license is a perpetual base license that activates the fundamental capabilities of FirePOWER. Subscription licenses (IPS, AMP, URL Filtering) are additional paid services that add specific protections. The Control license must be activated first before any subscription license for advanced threat protection services.
πΉ How do I activate this license on my ASA 5506-X?
Activation is done via the Cisco licensing portal at cisco.com/go/license. You will need the PAK code provided with the license and the license key of your appliance, visible in the ASDM or via the CLI command "show version". The system then generates a license file that you install on your equipment in a few minutes.
πΉ Is this license compatible with the ASA 5505 or other models?
No, the ASA5506-CTRL-LIC license is specifically designed for the ASA 5506-X model only. It is not compatible with the ASA 5505 (older model) or with other models in the ASA 5500-X range such as the 5508-X, 5512-X, or 5515-X, which require their own platform-specific Control licenses.
πΉ Do I need a Firepower Management Center to use this license?
No, the Firepower Management Center (FMC) is not mandatory for small deployments. You can manage your ASA 5506-X with the Control license directly through the ASDM interface (version 7.3 or higher required) or via the command line interface. The FMC becomes useful for centralized management of multiple appliances in more complex enterprise environments.
πΉ What happens if I lose my license PAK code?
If you lose your paper license with the PAK code, you can contact your Cisco account manager or the Cisco licensing team by providing the serial number of your ASA 5506-X. The licensing team can retrieve or regenerate the license codes associated with your appliance to allow you to reactivate FirePOWER services.
πΉ Does the Control license include protection against malware?
The Control license activates basic features such as application control (AVC) but does not include protection against advanced malware (AMP). To benefit from malware detection and blocking, you must subscribe to an additional license such as the TAMC license (Threat, AMP, Malware & Content) which requires the Control license to be activated first.
πΉ Does this license expire or is it perpetual?
The Control ASA5506-CTRL-LIC license is a perpetual license that does not require annual renewal. Once activated on your appliance, it remains valid for life. Only subscription licenses for advanced services (IPS, AMP, URL Filtering) require periodic renewal to continue receiving signature and threat database updates.
