If your IPS 4270-20 has a license that was generated for IPS 6.0.x versions or earlier, you need to get a 
new license. 

To obtain a new license for your IPS 4270-20, follow these steps:

Log in to 

. 

Go to 

Under Licenses Not Requiring a PAK, click Demo and Evaluation licenses.

Under Security Products/Cisco Services for IPS service license (Version 6.1 and later), click All IPS 
Hardware Platforms. 

Fill in the required fields. Your license key will be sent to the email address you specified.

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.

Save the license key to a hard-disk drive or a network drive that the client running the IDM or the IME 
can access.

Log in to the IDM or the IME.

For the IDM choose Configuration > Sensor Management > Licensing. For the IME choose 
Configuration > sensor_name > Sensor Management > Licensing.

Under Update License, click the License File radio button.

In the Local File Path field, specify the path to the license file or click Browse Local to browse to the file.

Browse to the license file and click Open.

Click Update License.

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
