Zeeshan, this is a great question...thanks for asking!

 

 

Yes, you will likely need a license for each module...AFM, ASM, LTM, etc. Even though you have the AFM (which is also a security module, but focused on a different layer), the ASM is still a separate license. You can work with your Sales Engineer to verify this, though. I'm not sure about the details of your specific configuration, but as a general rule, you will need to get a license for each module.

 

 

Thanks again for the question!
