License Expiration Date in "Show Version"

[haithamnofal]

Hi,

When I do show version on my IPS it shows that the license will expire after 2 years although I have purchased IPS services for 1 year only! Does this mean that the license itself will remain valid for 2 years, however I will after 1 year no longer get access to the download page?

Please advise!

Regards,

Haitham

Hi Haitham,

I do not know why you have 2 year license. In IPS, only different thing between licensed IPS vs non-licensed IPS is the ability to update IPS with downloaded signature file.

To answer your question, if you have 2 year license but only have 1 year service, you won't be able to download the signature update file after 1 year.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
