Hi all, I am planning to upgrade my pfsense firewall at home to Cisco brand firewalls. I realize the best protection comes with a yearly license. But again, this is for home use. If i go with just the Security Plus license which is a lifetime license, do i even need to consider going with asa 5506-x? I am just trying not to buy an overkill hardware if i am unable to use it due to a different license based engagement. Will the 5505 with Security Plus license be equal to a 5506-x with the same license, or does it provide a tad more protection. Oh, and i realize the switch limitation on the 5506-x, i already own a Cisco Catalyst 3560E-48TD Gigabit Switch for home network. ![]() Cisco ASA 5505 Security Plus - License - for ASA 5505 Firewall Edition Bundle, 5505 VPN Edition. Please guide. The switchport limitations were removed with the newest release, but if you want to use your Catalyst, that's not relevant. The 5505 is not only completely outdated, it's nearly unusable without the SecPlus license. Don't buy this device any more. Licensing on the 5506 is different. The restrictions of the Base-License are very likely not relevant for a home setup. But the 5506 gives NextGen firewalling with Firepower. Here you find the best protection for your network, but this is the subscription and it's quite complex to configure. You could also consider the Cisco Meraki MX64 with the Security license. This device gives you also a very good protection but is very easy to configure. For Meraki you always need a subscription. Well, Cisco has no free offering for home-use. (*) With the free software, these typically don't get the updated IPS signatures as fast as the commercial software. But it could be enough for your needs. It's more the personal choice. Also with open-source you can build a great home-firewall. If you consider using pfSense (which is great, I run it myself too), you should also evaluate if that fits your needs better than pfSense. (*) Another idea for home-use: Take the ASA 5506-X with Base-License and sign up for the free home-subscription of OpenDNS. This gives you also a good protection without an extra cost. UTM9 is free but is limited to 50 IP's (a bit like the old PIX license) and something like 32000 connections. Sophos' next iteration, Sophos XG is a mashup of UTM9 and Cyberoam. It has most of the IPS/Web protection of UTM9 but a much more sensible home licensing option where it is limited to 4 cores and 6GB of RAM. It's still free (for home use) by the way. It would be great if Cisco would or could do something similar for ASA and Firepower. One of the best ways to learn in my experience is with practical hands on every day use and we don't all have access to firewalls with these license options at work. *edit for typos.

Computer music mixer download free. Music Mixer has a very intuitive and easy to use interface. The visual editing of files will allow you to select, copy, paste, mix, cut the sound samples so easily as in a word processor. The 5.0 version of Music Mixer is available as a free download on our software library. Our antivirus check shows that this download is virus free. This program was originally developed by CCLA Software. The program is categorized as Multimedia Tools. The file size of the latest downloadable setup file is 2.3 MB. What the hell would be the point in having a Security plus ASA with more than 3 vlans, inside, outside, and dmz if it was limited to 10 host as well as all the other functionality you gain? It comes with 25 IPSEC peer licenses which right there is more than 10 hosts. I owned one and there was only one license available for security plus and it inherits unlimited host as part of the licensing structure. There is 10 host base license, 50 user upgrade, Unlimited Hosts. Then Security Plus is the main big upgrade. No the Security Plus license has an inherent unlimited host as part of it's functionality.

This support thread I found on the Cisco forums does the best job of explaining it: So yeah, the L-ASA5505-10-50 license listed above is the right one.
