What types of licenses are available for the SMA?

The Base License and Spike License offer essential functionalities for SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA). The Base License is the foundational license required to activate and operate the SMA device, granting access to its core features and functionalities. It generally covers the baseline number of concurrent users, allowing organizations to maintain a certain level of remote access provision.

On the other hand, the Spike License allows for temporary increases in the number of concurrent users beyond the number provided by the Base License. This is particularly useful during peak usage times when an organization may need to accommodate more users than usual without permanently upgrading their license. This flexibility helps ensure the SMA can scale according to the organization's varying needs while maintaining secure remote access.

These specific licenses are tailored for different usage scenarios, making them crucial for organizations to plan their licensing according to their operational demands. Understanding these licenses helps administrators ensure they have the correct setup to meet their access requirements effectively. Other options mentioned do not accurately reflect the licensing structure available for the SMA, making them less relevant in this context.
