Updating a signature update & IPS License

slwdaw_2 — Sun, 10 Mar 2019 12:34:40 GMT

I am testing a IPS module on a ASA5505, I have a 30 day license which just expired. I am trying to upload a new signature file, from the IPS express 7.2.1, but it just keeps timing out. Is it not uploading because my license is expired?

you have to have valid ips licence to upload new signatures.

I think you get a 30 day grace period after your license expires where you can still apply signature updates.

If you have an expired license, you can still apply OS updates that just happen to contain the latest signature pack as of their release date. These are not as frequent as the signature updates, but they will keep an unlicensed sensor within a few months of current signatures.
