Configure Legacy Firewall Management Center PAK-Based Licenses
The Firewall Management Center supports either a Smart License or a legacy PAK (Product Activation Key) license for its platform license. This procedure describes how to apply a PAK-based license.
After re-registration of your Smart Account, you must manually add the classic licenses for all classic devices.
Before you begin
-
Make sure you have the product activation key (PAK) from the Software Claim Certificate that Cisco provided when you purchased the license. If you have a legacy, pre-Cisco license, contact Support.
Procedure

The license key uniquely identifies the Firewall Management Center in the Smart Software Manager. It is composed of a product code (for example, 66) and the MAC address of the management port (eth0) of the Firewall Management Center; for example, 66:00:00:77:FF:CC:88.
