I have a license for an FWSM that runs in multiple context mode. Can I obtain a license for a spare FWSM in the event of a hardware failure?
A. You can obtain a license for the spare FWSM. However, you need to place an order for the spare FWSM license as you would a regular license. In the event of a hardware failure, contact Cisco Technical Support to verify the failure and to obtain a license for the spare FWSM. Refer to Cisco Firewall Module Software Release 2.2(1) for licensing information.
