License for backup router

I would like to activate a backup router to use in case the main one fails.
Since it has to cover 5 users, I can't imagine activating two SoHo licenses.
A license is already overpriced given that it offers the same features as the home one at quadruple the cost.

How can I handle it?

Well, same key works in any firewall. Just: in one firewall at a time. So, if you activate the key in a new firewall, all other firewalls using that key revert to free version.

Hi,

It is true that you can use the same key when your passive device is switched. But if you would like to automate it, the HA pair license is priced at 50% of the normal license cost.
