IPS 7.X Global Correlation in IME question

[haxworthy]

I was reading in the documentation for the new verison of IME that utilizes the new Global Correlation feature in IPS 7.X.

Quick question: Is the Global Correlation module a separate feature that has to be purchased? If so, do you license it for the IME or do you license it per sensor device? Would anyone be willing to share the cost?

The Global Correlation feature is licensed on the sensor rather than IME, but is not a new license, it is the same license used for signature updates. So the Cisco Service for IPS contracts provide the license that works for both Signature Updates and Global Correlation Updates.
