Appendix C Obtaining Software

Obtaining a License Key From Cisco.com

The directory specification should be an absolute path to the desired file. The remote host must be a TLS

trusted host.

Installing the License Key

To install the license key, follow these steps:

Step 1 Log in to Cisco.com.

Step 2 Apply for the license key at this URL: www.cisco.com/go/license.

Note In addition to a valid Cisco.com username and password, you must also have a Cisco Services

for IPS service contract before you can apply for a license key.

Step 3 Fill in the required fields. Your Cisco IPS Signature Subscription Service license key will be sent by

email to the e-mail address you specified.

Note You must have the correct IPS device serial number and product identifier (PID) because the

license key only functions on the device with that number.

Step 4 Save the license key to a system that has a Web server, FTP server, or SCP server.

Step 5 Log in to the CLI using an account with administrator privileges.

Step 6 Copy the license key to the sensor.

sensor# copy scp://[email protected]/24://tftpboot/dev.lic license-key

Password: *******

Step 7 Verify the sensor is licensed.

Note The CLI output is an example of what your configuration may look like. It will not match exactly

due to the optional setup choices, sensor model, and IPS 7.1 version you have installed.
