5-to-10 security context license upgrade allows smooth scaling with reliable ASA performance.
Compact, efficient, and simple to deploy in medium ASA setups.
Maintains predictable security operation across multiple contexts.
Easy to manage and highly reliable for enterprise ASA networks.
Enterprise-ready license with consistent performance and minimal downtime.
The ASA5500-SC-5-10 license upgrade expands your Cisco ASA 5500 Series firewall from five to ten security contexts, enabling multi-tenant segmentation on a single appliance.
The ASA5500-SC-5-10 upgrade is compatible with Cisco ASA 5520, 5540, 5550 and later ASA 5500 Series appliances with valid security context hardware.
Security contexts partition a single ASA into multiple virtual firewalls, each with independent policies, interfaces and admin credentials for secure multi-tenant operations.
After purchasing, you receive a Smart Licensing token. Use the ASA CLI or ASDM to register, install the token and activate the additional five contexts.
No reboot is required. The ASA dynamically provisions new contexts upon license activation, avoiding service interruptions.
Licenses are permanent and non-downgradable. Once activated, your appliance remains licensed for up to ten contexts.
Yes. A valid Cisco SMARTnet or Software Support Service contract is mandatory for license registration, technical support and software updates.
This upgrade is a perpetual license with no expiration for context capacity. Support and updates follow your SMARTnet contract term.
Doubling contexts improves tenant isolation, policy granularity and resource utilization, supporting growth without additional hardware investments.
Additional contexts consume CPU and memory. Ensure your appliance meets Cisco’s recommended hardware specifications to maintain optimal throughput.
Use the command 'show context summary' in the ASA CLI or review the ASDM Dashboard to confirm your total and active security contexts.
After payment and SMARTnet verification, license tokens are typically delivered within one business day via Cisco’s licensing portal.
Per Cisco policy, licenses are bound to the appliance’s serial number and are not transferable between devices.
Provide your ASA appliance serial number, current context license details and active SMARTnet contract ID when ordering the upgrade.
Yes, the SC-5-10 license is fully compatible with ASA failover and clustering; ensure each node has the same license to maintain redundancy.
Refer to the Cisco ASA Series Configuration Guide, chapter on Security Contexts, or access step-by-step procedures in Cisco’s online documentation.
Contact Cisco TAC via your SMARTnet support portal for troubleshooting, diagnostics and guided resolution for license activation.
