Hi All,

  I was going through the ASA 8.0 DOC CD chapter 3(Managing Feature
Licenses),Am trying to understand the highlighted portion of the below
stanza


*

Failover and Temporary Licenses *With failover, identical licenses are
required. For failover purposes, temporary and permanent licenses appear to
be identical, *so you can have a permanent license on one unit and a
temporary license on the other unit.* This functionality is useful in an
emergency situation; for example, if one of your units fails, and you have
an extra unit, you can install the extra unit while the other one is
repaired. If you do not normally use the extra unit for SSL VPN, then a VPN
Flex license is a perfect solution while the other unit is being repaired.
Because the temporary license continues to count down for as long as it is
activated on a failover unit, we do not recommend using a temporary license
in a permanent failover installation; when the temporary license expires,
failover will no longer work.
 So what is meant by having a permanent license on one unit and temporary
license on the other unit.

Thanks for the great help

Regards
Anantha Subramanian Natarajan
