Obtaining Cisco IPS Software
You can find major and minor updates, service packs, signature and signature engine updates, system
and recovery files, firmware upgrades, and Readmes on the Download Software site on Cisco.com.
Signature updates are posted to Cisco.com approximately every week, more often if needed. Service
packs are posted to Cisco.com in a release train format, a new release every three months. Major and
minor updates are also posted periodically. Check Cisco.com regularly for the latest IPS software.
You must have an account with cryptographic access before you can download software. You set this
account up the first time you download IPS software from the Download Software site.
Note You must be logged in to Cisco.com to download software. You must have an active IPS maintenance
contract and a Cisco.com password to download software. You must have a sensor license to apply
signature updates.
