Licensing the ASA 5500-X IPS SSP

For the ASA 5500-X series adaptive security appliances with the IPS SSP, the ASA requires the IPS

Module license. To view your current ASA licenses, in ASDM choose Home > Device Dashboard >

Device Information > Device License. For more information about ASA licenses, refer to the licensing

chapter in the configuration guide. After you obtain the ASA IPS Module license, you can obtain and

install the IPS license key.

For More Information

• For more information about getting started using the ASA 5500-X IPS SSP, refer to the Cisco IPS

Module on the ASA Quick Start Guide.

• For the procedures for obtaining and installing the IPS License key, see Obtaining a License Key

From Cisco.com, page C-8.

Uninstalling the License Key

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.

Use the erase license-key command to uninstall the license key on your sensor. This allows you to delete

an installed license key from a sensor without restarting the sensor or logging into the sensor using the

service account. Uninstalling the license key is supported in IPS 7.1(3)E4 and later.

To uninstall the license key, follow these steps:

Step 1 Log in to the CLI using an account with administrator privileges.

Step 2 Uninstall the license key on the sensor.

sensor# erase license-key

Warning: Executing this command will remove the license key installed on the sensor.

You must have a valid license key installed on the sensor to apply the Signature Updates

and use the Global Correlation features.

Continue? []: yes

Step 3 Verify the sensor key has been uninstalled.
