Time-based licenses are now stackable. In many cases, you might need to renew your
time-based license and have a seamless transition from the old license to the new one. For
features that are only available with a time-based license, it is especially important that the
license not expire before you can apply the new license. The adaptive security appliance allows
you to stack time-based licenses so you do not have to worry about the license expiring or about
losing time on your licenses because you installed the new one early. For licenses with
numerical tiers, stacking is only supported for licenses with the same capacity, for example,
two 1000-session SSL VPN licenses. You can view the state of the licenses using the show
activation-key command.
