ASA5505 SSL VPN Licensing

[jonathan_ng]

Hi All,

I like to know whether I will need to get the Security Plus license "ASA5505-SEC-PL=" for my ASA5505-50-BUN-K9, if I intend to support 25 concurrent SSL VPN user connecting to this ASA? Or I just need to purchase either the 25 SSL VPN Premiun User license "L-ASA-SSL-25=" or the SSL VPN Essential license "ASA-AC-E-5505=" will do?

Best regards,

Jonathan Ng

Look at the ASA 5505 licensing matrix at

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa84/configuration/guide/intro_license.html#wpmkr1821289

Anyconnect licenses (either Essentials or Premium) can be applied to the base ASA 5505 and do NOT require a Sec Plus license.

Hi kmccourt,

Thanks for the info. So if I only need to enable the ASA5505 to support more than 10 IPsec VPN session and not SSL VPN seesion, I should go for the Security Plus license, right?

Correct. For more than 10 IPsec v1 connections you would need a Sec Plus license.

I think that you need Anyconnect licenses for IPsec v2.
