Reimage from Firepower Threat Defense to ASA
a) Install the system software install package:
system install [noconfirm] url
Include the noconfirm option if you do not want to respond to confirmation messages. Use an HTTP,
HTTPS, or FTP URL; if a username and password are required, you will be prompted to supply them.
This file is large and can take a long time to download, depending on your network.
When installation is complete, the system reboots. The time required for application component installation
and for the ASA FirePOWER services to start differs substantially: high-end platforms can take 10 or
more minutes, but low-end platforms can take 60-80 minutes or longer. (The show module sfr output
should show all processes as Up.)
Example:
asasfr-boot> system install
http://admin:pa$$wd@upgrades.example.com/packages/asasfr-sys-6.0.1-58.pkg

Console session with module sfr terminated.
a) If you need to install a patch release, you can do so later from your manager: ASDM or the Firepower
Management Center.
Step 11
Obtain a Strong Encryption license and other licenses for an existing ASA for which you did not save the
activation key: see http://www.cisco.com/go/license. In the Manage > Licenses section you can re-download
your licenses.
To use ASDM (and many other features), you need to install the Strong Encryption (3DES/AES) license. If
you saved your license activation key from this ASA before you previously reimaged to the Firepower Threat
Defense device, you can re-install the activation key. If you did not save the activation key but own licenses
for this ASA, you can re-download the license. For a new ASA, you will need to request new ASA licenses.
Step 12
Obtain licenses for a new ASA.
a) Obtain the serial number for your ASA by entering the following command:
show version | grep Serial
This serial number is different from the chassis serial number printed on the outside of your hardware.
The chassis serial number is used for technical support, but not for licensing.
