Endpoint Security Avast

If they would tear your world apart, Would you intervene? Music is a weapon; Sounds like a threat. Let the bass terrorize; There’s no turning back! Hey! Activate! Hey! Hey! Activate! Hey!
Activate! Atari Teenage Riot

Lazy Saturday with my pet ASA, trying different file systems on the internal Compact Flash card. Atari Teenage Riot sings in the background; the new album is really quite good. Back after 10 years with a different lineup, they sound the same, but different. Old school synthetic. Still pissed about the same shit.

Bands that break up and disappear from view; they’re never really gone. The philosophical drummer, the narcissistic lead singer, the flaky guitarist; they are still somewhere out there in the world, doing designer drugs in their luxury penthouses, or shopping for Maalox at Safeway in their flip flops. Latent, in potentia. Waiting to be reassembled.

The second time I play the album, I sing along with Activate! and it not-so-subliminally makes me think to look for the missing activation key on my Cisco ASA.

A Cisco ASA with a Base license, compared with an ASA with a Security Plus license: They can boot with identical image files, use identical hardware and identical config. They just have different features enabled. Like that old myth about humans using only 10 percent of their brains, the advanced features for the Cisco ASA are there in the boot image, they just need to be unlocked via license keys. (Well, you need to unlock your wallet too.)

Just do a show version or a show activation-key to see the type of license that is installed.

ciscoasa(config)# sh activation-key
