certification.

personas are in use.
Q. How many guests or endpoints can this support?
A. This license will allow you to scale up to 5,000 endpoints. Licensing for additional endpoints beyond the
included 150 licenses will require a partner to either have ATP certification or partner with an ATP-services

Q. Will this support wired networks?
A. Yes. This license will support both wired and wireless guest access and RADIUS services
Q. Can I add services like BYOD and posture?

those services. Upsells for these starter licenses will require an ATP-certified partner.
Q. Q: What customers are appropriate for ISE Express?
A. Typically, commercial and small enterprises with a single and relatively small site.
Q. Will ISE Express work in a distributed ISE environment?
A. No. This product is licensed for a single instance. ISE Express is not licensed to support distributed ISE
operation.
Q. What types of customers are NOT appropriate for ISE Express?
A. If a customer will require distributed operation (multiple virtual machines or servers working collectively), high-
availability, or scale beyond the 150 endpoints included with the license it is recommended that you sell the
standard ISE solution
– whether ISE Base (ATP Required) or ISE Mobility (ATP NOT Required).
