VPN Licensing error...

[BertBarron]

The Purchasing Dept. of my company purchased 5 L-ASA-AC-E-5510 license claim certificates.  Each allowing my ASA to support 250 AnyConnect Essentials users. I am running 8.2 on my ASA.

Also recieved via email an ASA 5500 Series-Adaptive Security Appliance activation key...which I installed.  This installation allowed me to support 250 AnyConnect VPN users.

We want to return the un-necessary 4 copies of the L-ASA-AC-E-5510.  Unfortunately, my purchasing dept. has been told we must return all 5 of the claim certificates before we can buy a single copy.

I expect that I should return the ASA5510 to the original license key prior to the new purchase and re-installation of a new key.

As I have already installed the email'd activation key, and do not have the old one, how can I do this?  The ASA carried the default license key for years until I upgraded it with the new one...who knows where that thing has gone.

This is not a technical problem, more of a procedural one.

Thanx

I did not find a licensing thread in this forum, so this is the closest I could find.
