Cisco Cisco Firepower Management Center 4000

If you add licenses after a backup has completed, these licenses will not be removed or overwritten if 
this backup is restored. To prevent a conflict on restore, remove those licenses before restoring the 
backup, noting where the licenses were used, and add and reconfigure them after restoring the backup. 
If a conflict occurs, contact Support.

Use the following procedure if you need to delete a license for any reason. Keep in mind that because 
Cisco generates licenses based on each Defense Center’s unique license key, you cannot delete a license 
from one Defense Center and then reuse it on a different Defense Center.

In most cases, deleting a license removes your ability to use features enabled by that license. For more
