3. License Requirements

Firepower Threat Defense devices require Cisco Smart Licensing. Smart Licensing lets you purchase and manage
a pool of licenses centrally. Unlike product authorization key (PAK) licenses, Smart Licenses are not tied to a
specific serial number or license key. Smart Licensing lets you assess your license usage and needs at a glance.
In addition, Smart Licensing does not prevent you from using product features that you have not yet purchased.
You can start using a license immediately, as long as you are registered with the Cisco Smart Software Manager,
and purchase the license later. This allows you to deploy and use a feature, and avoid delays due to purchase order
approval.
When you purchase one or more Smart Licenses for Firepower features, you manage them in the Cisco Smart
Software Manager: http://www.cisco.com/web/ordering/smart-software-manager/index.html. The Smart
Software Manager lets you create a master account for your organization. For more information about the Cisco
Smart Software Manager, see the Cisco Smart Software Manager User Guide.
Your purchase of a Firepower Threat Defense device or Firepower Threat Defense Virtual automatically includes a
Base license. All additional licenses (Threat, Malware, or URL Filtering) are optional. For more information about
Firepower Threat Defense licensing, see the "Licensing the System" chapter of the
Center Configuration
