Resolution

Step 1

Redownload the license in Management Center and install it so that it shows valid.

    1. Access the Management Center CLI
    2. Enter privileged mode by typing enable at the command prompt.
    3. Enter your enable password and press Enter.
    4. Use the license command to download the license: (config-licensing)# load [username <value>] [password <value>]

Step 2

Restart the service which is required after installing the license in Management Center
        
    To restart the service:
    1. Access the Management Center CLI
    2. Enter privileged mode by typing enable at the command prompt.
    3. Enter your enable password and press Enter.
    4. At the # prompt, type the following command and press Enter: "# system-services restart management-center"

After restarting the service, the GUI will become unavailable for a short period of time. Once logged back in, check the device status which should be showing available now without error. It's a good idea to test the connection to the Proxy/ASG now by launching the console to the device.
