Hi Jonatas, This may have already been answered, but I would like to
share my experience with this upgrade of PIX 520 .First of all you have
to determine your memory size ( flash, RAM) , you might not see thesize
of flash when you do # sh ver but you will see 128MB of RAM  and as far I
know all PIX box with this RAM has 16MB of flash .Also write down your
Serial Number it will help you getting the activation key for VPN-DES or
VPN-3DES when you send your request to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and provide
show version output to them.If you do #  wr t  at the end of your config
. in ver 4.2(4) you might see your key sometime (it depends). Go to
www.cisco.com and download the procedure for upgrading PIX 520 and read
the procedure carefully and proced to download the ver. you want (I
recommend a lowerver. 5. 12 f.i. first and then another one higher f.i.
5.25), so you will have to download the followings file : bh512.bin,
bh525.bin, pix512.bin, pix525. bin , rawrite, readme..The procedure has a
small typos when you prepare your floppy disk , after formating youhave
to C:\>rawrite     and put the file name : bh512.bin instead pix512.bin 
and follow the procedure. At the end it will ask you for if you want to
change the activation key so if you got it from Cisco TAC you can put it
know ...and you are done.Caution: If you have another PIX 520 which is
your failover PIX  when you plug your failover cable you might run in
some problems  all you have to do is too wait long enough till you PIX's
syncronize , to see you can type # show failover and look to see which
box is Active and which is in standby. Good luck, Mike
