How are Managed Devices Counted for Panorama Licensing?
Environment
- Panorama
Resolution
- Panorama counts the number of managed devices for licensing purposes.
- Panorama counts the number of configured serial numbers even if they are inactive.
- Hence it is very important to delete the inactive devices from Panorama so it can have room for Active legitimate devices.
- When we exceed the count of devices based on license. Panorama does not accept any more connections for new devices
- The number of virtual systems (vsys) enabled on each device is not counted. For example, a device with 1 vsys and a device with 5 vsys will both count as 1 device against the license.
- A High Availability (HA) pair of managed devices will count as two separate devices.
