50 to 100 security context license upgrade provides scalable ASA protection and consistent operation.
Compact, reliable, and enterprise-ready solution.
Smooth deployment and minimal downtime.
Maintains consistent ASA performance and security.
Easy license management for mid-sized ASA deployments.
The ASA-SC-50-100 upgrade is a perpetual Cisco license that increases the maximum number of security contexts on supported ASA 5500 series firewalls from 50 to 100.
The upgrade is supported on Cisco ASA 5510, 5520, 5540, and 5550 platforms running ASA software version 8.2 or later.
After purchasing the PAK, you register it on Cisco’s licensing portal and install the activation key via CLI or ASDM to enable up to 100 security contexts.
You must have a valid base ASA 5500 license, a supported software image (8.2+), and a Cisco SMART Net support contract for activation.
You can order the SKU ASA-SC-50-100 through any authorized Cisco reseller, Cisco Commerce Workspace, or the Cisco online store.
Upload your Cisco PAK to the appliance, then enter the ‘activation-key’ command in privileged EXEC mode or import via ASDM License Manager.
Run the CLI command ‘show version’ or ‘show activation-key’ to confirm that the security-context count reflects the upgrade to 100.
Downgrading requires coordination with Cisco TAC; once the license is activated, contexts above 50 will remain until replaced or rekeyed.
Doubling contexts enhances multi-tenant segmentation, improves resource isolation, and supports more secure virtual network architectures.
When sized correctly, the upgrade imposes negligible performance overhead, with throughput and connection capacity maintained per platform specifications.
Technical support is provided through a Cisco SMART Net or Cisco Solution Support contract, which is required for license activation and ongoing assistance.
The ASA-SC-50-100 license is perpetual; ongoing maintenance and support require an active Cisco SMART Net contract.
License transfers are managed via Cisco’s license portal and may require an RMA or TAC approval based on your support agreement.
The upgrade only increases the security context count; all other ASA features and performance parameters remain unchanged.
Renewal is handled by extending your Cisco SMART Net contract through Cisco Commerce or your authorized reseller before support expiration.
A security context is a virtual firewall instance within a single ASA appliance, allowing multiple logical firewalls to operate independently.
Refer to the Cisco ASA Licensing Guide and Cisco Release Notes on Cisco’s official website for installation procedures and best practices.
