Hi Goutam,

You need to have the license for the cluster.

Please refer the licensing section of the below link.

It is a free license. you need to get it and activate it in the device.

Hope this helps.

Hi Gautam,

You need to buy a cluster license for ASA5585-ssp20 with security plus license (for 10gig I/O port support. Howver you do not required to buy the same license for all the slave units. They inherit the license from Master unit.

2 node cluster license is given bydefault with ASA5500-x with base license and same thing on ASA5512-x with Security plust license (same details are available on the table mentioned) in the link above.

Hope it helps.
