Validating Security License

 10. Use the License Installation page to validate the security license, which is used to activate security services on the device.

 11. If the security license is already installed on the security appliance, click Next to proceed next step.

 12. If the security license is not installed on the security appliance, enter the following information to validate the security license:

 • Email Address: Enter the registered email address to receive the PAK ID.

 • PAK ID: Enter your Product Authorization Key in this field. You can find the license code from the Software License Claim Certificate that Cisco provides upon purchase of the security appliance.

NOTE: A valid Cisco.com account is required to validate the security license. If your Cisco.com account credentials are not configured, go back to the Cisco.com Credentials page to configure them.

NOTE: If you want to continue the Setup Wizard configuration without installing the security license, check the box next to Continue without installing license (not recommended). The security services cannot be activated without installing the security license.

 13. After you are finished, click Next.
