Obtaining a DES License or a 3DES-AES License

Cisco adaptive security appliances are available either with a DES or 3DES-ASE license that provides encryption technology to enable specific features, such as secure remote management (SSH, ASDM, and so on), site-to-site VPN, and remote access VPN. The license is enabled through an encryption license key.

If you ordered your adaptive security appliance with a DES or 3DES-AES license, the encryption license key comes with the adaptive security appliance.

If you are a registered user of Cisco.com and would like to obtain a 3DES/AES encryption license, go to the following website:

http://www.cisco.com/go/license

If you are not a registered user of Cisco.com, go to the following website:

https://tools.cisco.com/SWIFT/Licensing/RegistrationServlet

Provide your name, e-mail address, and the serial number for the adaptive security appliance as it appears in the show version command output.

Note You will receive the new activation key for your adaptive security appliance within two hours of requesting the license upgrade.

For more information on activation key examples or upgrading software, see the Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide.
