Global-correlation does not update.

Question

Hi all,
I have a problem to update the global-correlation. I do get updates for the signatures in the IPS but see output below regarding the global-correlation;
==========================================
show statistics global-correlation

   Counters:
      Total Connection Attempts = 0
      Total Connection Failures = 0
      Connection Failures Since Last Success = 0
   Connection History:

   Time Since Last Successful Update = never
   Counters:
      Update Failures Since Last Success = 8
      Total Update Attempts = 8
      Total Update Failures = 8
   Update Interval In Seconds = 300
   Update Server = update-manifests.ironport.com
   Update Server Address = 204.15.82.17
   Current Versions:
      config = 0
      drop = 0
      ip = 0
      rule = 0
Warnings:
===========================================
Hardware used:
asa-ssm-10 (version 7.0(4)E4)
ASA-5520(version 8.4(1))
I see all traffic passing the firewall and ISP-routers.
I hope someone can help me with this issue or some pointers.
Thanks in advance,
Erik Verkerk.

Hi Jennifer,
Good to hear we do not have to buy an additional license and that global-correlation is included in version 7.0.
Thanks for your suggestion "access to internet", I did a re-re-recheck of my configuration and found out that I had a "little routing issue in one of my routers". I solved this and now it is working.
