Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center and Threat Defense Licenses

You do not have to purchase a separate license to use the cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center in Security Cloud Control; the base subscription for a Security Cloud Control tenant includes the cost for the cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center.

Cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center Evaluation License

The cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center comes provisioned with a 90-day evaluation license. After the evaluation period has elapsed, you can still onboard threat defense devices to the cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center. However, any manually triggered or scheduled deployments are blocked, until you register your cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center with the Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM). As your evaluation license approaches the expiry date, Security Cloud Control notifies you through alerts on the notifications window.

To know more about how to register the cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center with CSSM, see Register the Management Center with the Smart Software Manager.
