Cisco Secure Firewall Licenses – Cisco Licensing and Registration

Cisco Secure Firewall Licenses

The Cisco Secure Firewall offers many security features to protect your network. Some licenses are permanent, and some are term based. Some features are subject to country-specific laws, and some are available to anyone. The following sections discuss various licenses to enable security functionalities on Secure Firewall.

Feature License

A base license is included with your Secure Firewall purchase. However, a base license does not enable all the security features. To enable security functionality, separate feature licenses are necessary. Feature licenses are not hardware specific; they entitle you to enable particular security features on your managed threat defense devices.

Table 3-4 describes the functionalities of the Secure Firewall licenses. Keep in mind that a threat license is a prerequisite for Malware and URL Filtering functionalities.
