Updating License & Signatures on ASA-SSM-10

[aleemuddin]

Hi,

Does the same options are used to:

updating IPS License and updating signatures on ASA-SSM-10?

Actually i updated license file received from cisco licensing team:

using IDM 6.0 > licensing option > update license > file location:

and I was trying to update signatures using same options (as i dont find seprate options to update signatuers) but it gives error:

Invalid license etc.,

could anyone guide.

Thank you.

Hi,

Signature upgrade are seen as software updates and not as licenses.

Once you have downloaded the latest signatures, you can install them either from the CLI: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/security/ips/6.0/configuration/guide/idm/dmImage.html#wp1142504

Or from the device manager: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/security/ips/6.0/configuration/guide/idm/dmAdmin.html#wpxref84285

Regards,

Nicolas

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately links are not working " forbiddin link"

Try them without the "partner" part of the URL.  You usually have to be logged in to see the partner links.  These links should work either way.

CLI:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ips/6.0/configuration/guide/idm/dmImage.html#wp1142504

Device Manager:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ips/6.0/configuration/guide/idm/dmAdmin.html#wpxref84285

Hope that helps.
