When a Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is used with AnyConnect, you must register each individual ASA
appliance to each AnyConnect Plus or Apex license that you purchase. The license registration process should not
be completed for the Cisco Adaptive Security Virtual Appliance (ASAv), Cisco Firepower, Cisco ISE, Cisco IOS, or
other headends. Contract entitlement (Section 6.1) should be completed regardless of the headend.
Otherwise you will not be able to download AnyConnect software or obtain tech support.
The license registration process varies depending on the license purchased.
Note: When registering a license to your ASA, it is important that you confirm the serial number for your
appliance by using the “Show Version” command or the appliance’s device manager.

6.0.1 Plus and Apex Term Licenses (L-AC-PLS-LIC= or L-AC-APX-LIC=)
The product activation key (PAK) is used only for the initial headend serial number(s) that you register.
For subsequ
ent registrations, you request an activation code on the Cisco.com license portal under “Get Other
Licenses
– Share License Process – ASA AnyConnect Term and Content.” You will be prompted to enter a source
and target serial number. The source serial number can be any serial number currently sharing this license. The
target serial number is the ASA serial number you wish to share it with. If the source serial number has multiple
Plus or Apex licenses, you will be able to select multiple licenses to share at once. If you have multiple co-termed
licenses, each of them should be shared with all the ASA serial numbers. The ASA key itself will not change when
you share multiple licenses.
After completing this process, you will be emailed an activation code and instructions to complete the sharing
process. You must repeat this process for each additional ASA serial number you wish to share the license with.
Only the Cisco.com ID tied to the initial license registration process can share your license with additional devices.
6.0.2 Plus Perpetual (L-AC-PLS-P-G) and Older Plus or Apex Ordering
(L-AC-APX-xYR-G, L-AC-PLS-xYR-G)
The product activation key (PAK) will be used for all subsequent ASA device registrations. For each PAK
registration submission you can associate only one Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) on a single license
registration page.
The same product activation key (PAK) can be applied to multiple appliances by repeating this process.
If you have purchased multiple license tiers or user counts, register each activation key individually to all of your
appliance serial numbers. A quantity of 1 should be used with all registrations.
