Chapter 32 Configuring the ASA CSC Module

CSC SSM Setup Wizard

Activation/License

The Activation/License pane lets you review or renew activation codes for the CSC SSM Basic License and the Plus License.

You can use ASDM to configure CSC licenses only once each for the two licenses. Renewed license activation codes are downloaded automatically with scheduled software updates. Links to the licensing status pane and the CSC UI home pane appear at the bottom of this window. The serial number for the assigned license is filled in automatically.

To review license status or renew a license, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Choose Configuration > Trend Micro Content Security > CSC Setup > Activation/License.

Step 2 The Activation/License pane shows the following display-only information for the Basic License and the Plus License:

•The name of the component.

•The activation code for the corresponding Product field.

•The status of the license. If the license is valid, the expiration date appears. If the expiration date has passed, this field indicates that the license has expired.

•The maximum number of network devices that the Basic License supports. The Plus License does not affect the number of network devices supported; therefore, the Nodes field does not appear in the Plus License area. The Basic License includes anti-virus, anti-spyware, and file blocking. The Plus License includes anti-spam, anti-phishing, content filtering, URL blocking and filtering, and web reputation.

Step 3 To review license status or renew your license, click the link provided.

Step 4 To go to the CSC home pane in ASDM, click the link provided.
