10-to-20 security context license provides flexible ASA operation with predictable enterprise performance.
Compact, reliable, and easy to manage.
Smooth deployment and minimal downtime.
Maintains consistent ASA security across multiple contexts.
Enterprise-ready license with predictable performance.
The UPG ASA 5500 10 to 20 Security Context License (SKU: L-ASA-SC-10-20=) is a permanent software upgrade for Cisco ASA 5500 Series that increases the supported number of security contexts from 10 to 20, enabling enhanced virtualization and multi-tenant segmentation.
This upgrade license allows Cisco ASA 5500 devices to host up to 20 independent security contexts, doubling the default limit of 10 contexts for improved workload isolation.
The L-ASA-SC-10-20= license is compatible with Cisco ASA 5505, 5510, 5520, 5540, 5550, and 5580 Series running a supported ASA software release.
Upgrading to 20 contexts delivers granular policy separation, simplified multi-tenant management, flexible resource allocation and stronger security isolation for departments or customers.
You can purchase the L-ASA-SC-10-20= license through authorized Cisco partners or directly via Cisco Commerce, using your device serial number and active Smart Account information.
Download the Cisco license file from your Smart Account, upload it to the ASA via CLI (copy tftp:/license.lic flash:), then issue the 'license install flash:license.lic' command and reload the device.
Yes. After testing with an evaluation license, you can install the permanent L-ASA-SC-10-20= license file obtained from Cisco Smart Software Manager without additional hardware changes.
A reload is required to enable the new security context capacity. Plan a brief maintenance window to avoid production interruptions.
Run the CLI command 'show version' or 'show license detail'—the output lists the active security context count and confirms the applied license.
Ensure your ASA is running Cisco ASA Software Release 8.4(4) or later. Check Cisco’s release notes for any additional feature or bug-fix requirements.
Yes. The 10 to 20 Security Context license is fully supported in both active/active and active/passive failover configurations, preserving context settings across peers.
Exceeding 20 contexts will block additional context creation. You must remove unused contexts or acquire a higher-capacity license to resume new context deployment.
Permanent ASA context licenses do not expire. For Smart Software licensing or support renewal, contact Cisco or your reseller before your support contract ends.
The license itself is perpetual; however, Cisco software support and updates require an active Cisco Smart Net or Cisco Smart Foundation contract.
Security Context licenses govern virtual firewall instances on ASA hardware, while AnyConnect or VPN licenses specifically enable remote-access or site-to-site VPN features.
Yes. Use the Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) or CLI context mode to configure and monitor up to 20 security contexts from one ASA appliance.
