If you chose the "Register for purchased Feature Upgrade..." (which is found on the link that follows) and was then prompted with the output listed below the link, then you were in the correct place. You have to register the 3DES license you purchased. To register the license, you have to provide the CCO Account information of the client who purchased the Firewall (Firewall has to be registered to the owner of the firewall, and thus the owner has to have their own CCO Account). The exception to this rule is if your company is providing managed services for the firewall, which includes you providing the firewall appliance yourself.
www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/browse/psp_view.pl?p=Hardware:PIX&s=Softwa re_Configuration "License Registration This page is for use when you have purchased and received a PIX Firewall Connection Count or Feature License Upgrade. New PIX owners do not need to use this page - only those users who have purchased a Connection Count or Feature License Upgrade." The part about New PIX owners is deceiving because it should indicate that the rule applies to new PIX owners that purchased the firewall as a 3DES bundle with the 3DES Licensing already installed. You still have to register the PIX to your company/client's company, which should automatically associate the 3DES licensing with your unit by Serial Number of the unit itself. If it doesn't, then you still have to register the 3DES License. If you still have to register, it's recommended that you contact customer service to assist with the registration. My bet is (from experience) that you will have to go through the registration page mentioned above, and then follow the installation procedure mentioned in my previous post for activating the 3DES license. Just a note- When you issue the Show Version command on the PIX, it should give you a list of features Enabled or Disabled. If you see Enabled following to the right of the 3DES entry, then you know for sure your 3des license has been installed. An example follows: Licensed Features: Failover: Disabled VPN-DES: Enabled VPN-3DES: Enabled*** Maximum Interfaces: 2 Cut-through Proxy: Enabled Guards: Enabled URL-filtering: Enabled Inside Hosts: 10 Throughput: Limited IKE peers: 5 This is from my PIX 501 with 3DES License installed.
