You can get a temporary license at any time for these. It's a bit of a PITA
since you have to request one each time but I did it several times after my
original contract was expired (and wasn't included in the co-term
renewal...DOH!). I don't know of any limitation on the number of times you
can do this and I believe the period of the temp license went for 60 or 90
days or something like that.

Remember that to update IPS signatures, you need to have a valid SmartNet
contract for licensing tied to the Serial #. So, if you have a CSC serial #
even covered under SmartNet, you would not be able to activate licensing on
the unit, so that you could not update signatures.
(Even if you manually download the signatures, it will NOT let you update
them unless the license is up to date on the unit).
So, while the CSC may be $1500 cheaper, you would never be able to update
the signatures so this would not be useful in a production environment
(though from a groupstudy context, it may provide use educationally and of
course would not be officially supported by Cisco.)

Thank you for this interesting information, specially if the CSM (or
AIP-SSM) shows up in the Security Lab...this would help those who want to
setup a home lab.
However the CSM will gradually fade away IMHO, it doesn't really perform as
well as it should.
Or it might be migrated to some IronPort code (utilizing the same hardware).
