DHCP Pool ASA 5505 - Cant add 200 IP DHCP Scope

So running into a nice little error I was going to change the DHCP scope of the following range:


dhcpd address 172.16..1.20-172.16.10.80 inside

                                TO 


dhcpd address 172.16.1.50-172.16.1.250 inside


Below is the error you may or may not receive(depends on your license):



ASA5505(config)# dhcpd address 172.16.1.50-172.16.1.250 insideWarning, DHCP pool range is limited to 128 addresses, set address range as: 172.16.1.50-172.16.1.177ASA5505(config)#

OR in ASDM 





The reason behind all this is a wonderful thing called Cisco! The licensing for the amount of hosts is the limiting factor of the DHCP scope. The default 5505 has 10 hosts.

For the ASA 5505, the maximum number of DHCP client addresses varies depending on the license:
• If the limit is 10 hosts, the maximum available DHCP pool is 32 addresses.
• If the limit is 50 hosts, the maximum available DHCP pool is 128 addresses.
• If the number of hosts is unlimited, the maximum available DHCP pool is 256 addresses.
