Cisco Web Security Virtual Appliance WSAV Licenses for Existing Customers and Partners Data Sheet

This document describes the process for obtaining and installing activation keys for the Cisco^® Web Security Virtual Appliance (WSAV) and the Cisco Email Security Virtual Appliance (ESAV). To activate your Cisco virtual appliance license, you must have an active Cisco Web Security software license to get Cisco WSAV, or an active Cisco Email Security software license to get Cisco ESAV.

Partners with active not-for-resale (NFR) Cisco Web Security software licenses are entitled to receive a NFR Cisco WSAV license. Partners with active NFR Cisco Email Security software licenses are entitled to receive a NFR Cisco ESAV license.

You will need to have your activation keys from your Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA) or your Cisco Email Security Appliance (ESA) and your Cisco.com account to complete this process. If you do not already have a Cisco.com account, please register for an account at www.tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do.

1.     Go to www.cisco.com/go/license.
