Hi dhvenkat,

Thanks for the information. But I have a case where the customer has already registered the PAK but provided only 1 license key during registration. Is there a way to perform HA \?

Thanks,

For firepower products, there is no HA license per-se.

However you cannot put two virtual managers/defense centers in an HA pair. Only appliance based DC's support this. 

To cluster a pair of sensors, you will need a control license.
