Release Notes for Cisco Intrusion Prevention System 5.1(7)E1
OL-8492-01
After Upgrading to Cisco IPS 5.1(7)E1
• ASA-SSM-AIP-20-K9
Note Cisco Services for IPS provides IPS signature updates, operating system updates, access to
Cisco.com, access to TAC, and hardware replacement NBD on site.
For example, if you purchased an ASA-5510 and then later wanted to add IPS and purchased an
ASA-SSM-AIP-10-K9, you must now purchase the Cisco Services for IPS service contract.
After you have the Cisco Services for IPS service contract, you must also have your product serial
number to apply for the license key.
Caution If you ever send your product for RMA, the serial number will change. You must then get a new license
key for the new serial number.
For More Information
For the procedure for obtaining and installing the License key, see Obtaining and Installing the License
Key, page 28.
Obtaining and Installing the License Key
You can install the license key through the CLI or IDM. This section contains the following topics:
• Using IDM, page 28
• Using the CLI, page 29
Using IDM
To obtain and install the license key, follow these steps:
Step 1 Log in to IDM using an account with administrator privileges.
Step 2 Choose Configuration > Licensing.
The Licensing pane displays the status of the current license. If you have already installed your license,
you can click Download to save it if needed.
Step 3 Obtain a license key by doing one of the following:
• Check the Cisco Connection Online check box to obtain the license from Cisco.com.
IDM contacts the license server on Cisco.com and sends the server the serial number to obtain the
license key. This is the default method. Go to Step 4.
• Check the License File check box to use a license file.
To use this option, you must apply for a license key at this URL: www.cisco.com/go/license.
The license key is sent to you in e-mail and you save it to a drive that IDM can access. This option
is useful if your computer cannot access Cisco.com. Go to Step 7.
Step 4 Click Update License.
The Licensing dialog box appears.
Step 5 Click Ye s to continue.
