Solution




First of all you need to be sure that you used the correct activation-key for the correct device. The activation-key is based on the serial number and must be generated by the licensing team.
  1. Lost activation-key: The activation-key can be regenerated by licensing team. You need to send the serial number and/or PAK number to licensing@cisco.com . May be licensing team could request from you different information like contract number in case.
  2. License key is correct, but not take effect: If you see the correct activation-key under the "show activation-key", please try to reboot the device. If it doesn't help, please do the followings as a "lost activation-key".
  3. RMA
  4. Customer bought a new ASA, can he/she transfer the license? Licenses are permanent. Once issued, they can never be revoked or  transferred. Since the only way to provide a license for a different  device is by issuing a brand new one and not removing their old one, any  desire to provide special discounts in this instance need to be handled  through the sales process / deals desk.
