Obtain the license files in the same way as with Nexus Switches (One exception: On the ASA, you get the Serial No with the command show version, the command show license host-id does not exist here.)
From the .lic file, copy the long string that looks somewhat like this to the clipboard: a63ed956 087a5836 a1f0f5ac e3fcbcdc 4723cdb1
On the ASA, switch to enable mode and then type conf t
Apply the license using the following command: activation-key a63ed956 087a5836 a1f0f5ac e3fcbcdc 4723cdb1
Check if the license has been applied correctly using the sho ver command
