How can I enable ISA550W security services with an expired license?

[Guy Labs]

Hi,

I buyed the ISA550W 1 year ago and my license expired this month. I wanted to buy a new one but the ISA550W is end of life, so there aren't any resellers selling any more licenses.

Without the license all the security services (IPS, Anti-Virus etc.) are not working. I do not need new signatures I just want that the security services are running with the last signature I was able to download with the license.

Without the security services this ISA is useless. Isn't there a way to run the services with the expired license? Or is the idea behind that to buy a new device again?

Thanks in advance and regards,

Guy

Hi,

no I didn't find one, and it looks like no one here can answer it.

Hello there, 

Maybe here ?http://www.senetic.fr/cisco/cisco_small_business/security/cisco_isa500_series_security_appliances_and_licenses/

This is the exact reseller I called and their Cisco representative said that there aren't any more licenses available for the ISA550W.

Thanks for looking. The other thing is that if we now would find some licenses to buy, will the services still update from the Cisco servers? Or are the services also "end of life"?

Hello there, 

The problem we are left with a product that we could use more if cisco does nothing.
