Obtaining a 3DES/AES License
The Cisco ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance comes with a DES license
that provides encryption. You can obtain a 3DES-AES license that provides
encryption technology to enable specific features, such as secure remote
management (SSH, ASDM, and so on), site-to-site VPN, and remote access VPN.
You need an encryption license key to enable this license.
If you are a registered user of Cisco.com and would like to obtain a 3DES/AES
encryption license, go to the following website:
