You have the IPS SSP so that covers the base functionality.

Cisco IPS also requires a subscription license for your signature updates. That's tied to your Smartnet service support contract.

The easiest way to tell if that is current that from the device is to do the basic IPS configuration and then it will contact cisco.com to update itself using its built-in serial number as its ID. If the subscription is current, it will download the latest signatures and you will be able to see via the IDM (IPS Device Manager) or IME (IPS Manager Express or CSM (Cisco Security Manager) (whichever you are using) the current subscription status.

You could also  contact Cisco TAC and open a case to have it checked.
