CSM license on failover firewall

Hi all,

We have a question about CSM license. It's said on CSM user guide that when Firewalls are redundant, it is considered as one device.

We have configured 2 context (one active, one failover), but CSM consumes 2 licenses.

is there anything to do so that they are considered as one device?

Here is the URL for the Managing Firewall Devices for the Cisco security manager follow the guide it may help you

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/security_management/cisco_security_manager/security_manager/3.1/user/guide/pxchap.html

Hi,

Thanks for the url.

We use Active/Active Failover. When 2 FWSM are ON, we can't deploy configuration.

So we added the 2 firewalls and all it's contexts on CSM.

Each context is configured with an IP management, we used same IP for 2 contexts acting on failover mode.

There's many contexts and each one consumes one license even if half of them are active.

That's a problem for us.
