About Security Cloud Control Licenses

Security Cloud Control requires a base subscription for tenant entitlement and device licenses for managing devices. You can buy one or more Security Cloud Control base subscriptions based on the number of tenants you require and device licenses based on the device model number and the quantity. In other words, purchasing the base subscription gives you a Security Cloud Control tenant, and for every device you choose to manage using Security Cloud Control, you need separate device licenses.

To onboard and manage devices from Security Cloud Control, you need to purchase a base subscription and device-specific, term-based subscriptions based on the devices you want to manage.

Subscriptions

Cisco Security Cloud Control subscriptions are term-based:

  • Base - Offers subscriptions for one, three, and five years, and provides entitlement to access the Security Cloud Control tenant and onboard adequately licensed devices.

  • Device License - Offers subscriptions for one, three, and five years for any supported device you choose to manage. For example, you can choose to manage a Cisco Firepower 1010 device using Security Cloud Control for three years, if you purchase a three-year software subscription to the Cisco Firepower 1010 device.

See Software and Hardware Supported by Security Cloud Control for more information on Cisco security devices that Security Cloud Control supports.

Important

You do not require two separate device licenses to manage a high availabilty device pair in Security Cloud Control. If you have a Secure Firewall ASA (ASA)orSecure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) high availability pair, purchasing one ASAorFTD device license is sufficient, as Security Cloud Control considers the pair of high availability devices as one single device.

Note

You cannot manage Security Cloud Control licensing through the Cisco smart licensing portal.

Software Subscription Support

The Security Cloud Control base subscription includes software subcription support that is valid for the term of the subscription and provides access to software updates, major upgrades, and Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC), at no extra cost. While the software support is selected by default, you can also leverage the Security Cloud Control solution support based on your requirement.
