Query about threat prevention updates with eval license.

[Arsh_cp]

Hi All,

I am quiet new to the CP.

I'm an admin for a customer, their license is expiring and wanted to use evaluation license to keep it running. I wanted to know if I can download the latest updates for Threat Prevention tools using the evaluation license. I've attached the necessary screenshots below in the doc file.

Evaluation License that includes all the Threat Prevention blades is a real license just limited in time.

They would still need to renew the current license or buy a new one (NGTP or SNBT)

Hi Tal,

Thanks for the response, just to validate this i have replicated lab and tried updating the ips database but getting an error(attached doc in the 1st update).

Lab details; R81.10 Standalone setup with full internet access. i am able to reach threat cloud and curl output also showing connected.

635158746 - this is the current package version on my lab.

i used below link to verify latest version, which showing different package.

How are you trying to update, exactly?

That error may have nothing to do with license, bur rather connectivity issue. Can you run curl_cli -k google.com from expert mode and send the output please?
