Element Description
IPS License Table Displays all the IPS devices in the device inventory and their license
status as of the last time you refreshed the information. Click the
Refresh button to obtain the latest information from the devices.
Information includes the serial number for the device, which is used to
register for licenses, the license status, and the expiration date of the
license. The list shows not only current licenses, but also unlicensed
devices, devices with expired licenses, and devices with invalid
licenses.
Tip The list does not include Cisco IOS IPS devices. You cannot use
Security Manager to manage licenses for routers running IPS.
Update Selected via CCO
button
Click this button to update the license file for the selected devices by
connecting to Cisco.com and retrieving a new license. When you click
this button, a dialog box opens listing devices that can be updated from
Cisco.com, which might not be all the devices you selected. Click OK
to perform the update. For successful updates, the updated file is
automatically applied to the device.
To successfully update the license using this method, you must have a
Cisco.com support contract that includes the serial numbers of the
selected devices.
Tip The Cisco software license server (SWIFT) that contains the
licenses might block requests from the same server for more
than 9 licenses within a three minute period. Thus, you should
select fewer than 9 devices at a time when performing manual
license updates.
