Hi!

I have purchased a Cisco ASA 5520 having a CSM-SSM-20 module.

I have got the Product Activation Key (PAK) that must be used to register the device on Cisco.com.

I understand that when I register the product, a license will be made available which must be used as Activation Code in the CSCSetup Wizard.

My query is:

Will the CSC SSM subscription status be active as soon as I register the device on Cisco.com using the PAK

Or

Will it be active only after I have registered the device, got the license and completed the CSC Setup Wizard?

Thanks,

Alvin
