  Ø  It is represented by an activation key that is a 160-bit (5  32-bit words or 20 bytes) value.
  Ø  This value encodes the serial number (an 11 character string) and the enabled features.

       1)     Preinstalled License (Base-License):

   Ø  By default, Your ASA ships with a license already installed.

       2)      Permanent License:
