Questions & Answers
What is the UPG ASA 5500 10 to 20 Security Context License (SKU: L-ASA-SC-10-20)?
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.
How many security contexts does this license support?
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.
Which Cisco ASA models are compatible with SKU L-ASA-SC-10-20?
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.
What are the key benefits of increasing security contexts to 20?
Upgrading to 20 contexts delivers granular policy separation, simplified multi-tenant management, flexible resource allocation and stronger security isolation for departments or customers.
How do I purchase the ASA 5500 Security Context upgrade?
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.
What is the process to activate the security context license?
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.
Can I convert an evaluation license to this permanent license?
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.
Do I need to restart my ASA appliance when installing this license?
A reload is required to enable the new security context capacity. Plan a brief maintenance window to avoid production interruptions.
How do I verify the number of enabled security contexts?
Run the CLI command 'show version' or 'show license detail'—the output lists the active security context count and confirms the applied license.
Are there any software prerequisites for this 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.
Does this license support failover and high availability?
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.
What happens if I exceed the licensed number of contexts?
Exceeding 20 contexts will block additional context creation. You must remove unused contexts or acquire a higher-capacity license to resume new context deployment.
How do I renew or extend my security context license?
Permanent ASA context licenses do not expire. For Smart Software licensing or support renewal, contact Cisco or your reseller before your support contract ends.
Is software support included with the license purchase?
The license itself is perpetual; however, Cisco software support and updates require an active Cisco Smart Net or Cisco Smart Foundation contract.
How does this license differ from the AnyConnect or VPN context license?
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.
Can I manage multiple contexts from a single console?
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.
