CSC module licence expire

mrbzumrbzu · ‎06-07-2010

Hi,

we have bought the CSC modules few years back and now the licence has been expired few months back. we used the CSC for only a month when we bought just to test these and after that they are left without doing anything and expires. Now we would like to some test on CSC modules just to make sure that we can deploy these in our company. Do you think these CSC will still work and fitler traffic even the licence expires with the old filtering database in it?

Regards

Filtering will not work, scanning will, based on the old virus patterns.

But filtering based on categories (like pornography, gambling) will not work without a PLUS license.

Of course the CSC will not get the latest virus pattern updates.

I hope it clarifies it.
