Dion, On the PIX 515 that we have, the activation key is listed directly under the serial number of the "sh ver" (the very last line). Perhaps you are running really old PIX code???
In the past I have successfully obtained the correct serial number by applying for the IPSec upgrade license for the PIX. You need the PIX serial number, but not the activation key. They will e-mail you a new activation key that works for the desired software version and will also have IPSec enabled (not 3DES though). - Tom In article , "Radford Dion" wrote: > 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. > Access, copying or re-use of the e-mail or any information contained > therein by any other person is not authorized.
