ISE HA / Node Group Licensing

[mjensen323]

I have a single ISE 3355 with 2200 basic licenses.

I am planning to purchase another 3355 for redundancy purposes.

Do I just add this into the node group and the license pool is shared between the nodes? I cant imagine I have to rebuy all the licenses for the 2nd device.

Thanks in advance.

That is correct.  There is no need to purchase additional license paks.  The ISE deployment licenses are on a per endpoint basis, not per ISE node.  You can just add the new node to the existing deployment.

You have probably already seen this, but here is a guide for distributed deployments:
