If you're not changing the features, then you won't need to put a new activation key in. If you are changing the features then you will have a new activation key, so you don't need the existing one. I used to cut and paste the activation key all the time "just in case" but never used it. I seem to remember some images not showing the activation key in show ver. I don't think I ever found it. I just took what I thought was a risk at the time.
The free DES image is a bit of a mystery to me at the moment. Used it a few times to allow PDM, but not sure why Cisco do it. Who knows - you could maybe even upgrade a Failover Pix using the DES image :-) Gaz ""Radford Dion"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > I've just got a hold of a PIX 515UR and I want to upgrade to the lastest > software, but when I do a show ver there is no activation key. > > Is this normal, or do I have to obtain one from somewhere? > > Dion Radford > Mellon Site Services - Europe > 71 Queen Victoria Street, London, EC4V 4DR > +44 (0) 20 7653 2850 - Work > +44 (0) 20 7653 2227 - Fax > +44 (0) 794 092 8809 - Mobile > Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > ***************************************************************** > DISCLAIMER: The information contained in this e-mail may be confidential > and is intended solely for the use of the named addressee.
