You got a good price on the flash card.... However, this is not a wise move. Bad karma to do this installation anyway...
Worse karma to ask for help on a public list with numerous Cisco people on it! (grin) Anyway, the activation key is tied to the serial number, which of course is on the flash card. Now you can get a 56-bit DES key for free, although I still wouldn't admit how you're using the card in your own box. :) You may want to get a Yahoo account and then a new CCO account to get a little anonymity behind you! (grin) Anyway. Have fun! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Athony Jones Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 3:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to get the activation key for my clone Pix? Hi Everyone, After struggling for the past two days, I have successfully cloned a Pix firewall by using my PC. I plug the 16MB flash card into the PC's ISA slot and the PC recognize that it is a Pix flash card (cost me $400.00). It boots up fine and everything seems to be in order. However, after the boot up sequence, it asks me for the activation key. I've been trying many different possible scenarios without much success. I even tried to use the activation key from another Pix firewall but that doesn't work either. Anybody know how I can fake my clone Pix with a fake activation key? By the way,I am running Pix OS code version 6.1(2). I even tried 5.3(1), 5.3(2), 6.0(1) and 6.1(1) and one of them works. By the way, the PC has 128MB of RAM and a 16Mb Flash ISA card. I tried to clone a Pix520. Please help. Jason __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
