Re: PIX activation key [7:34450]
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.

RE: PIX activation key [7:34450]
Thanks everyone for the replies. I upgraded it without any problems, and a new activation key was generated automatically. I just thought it was strange that it didn't have a key straight out of the box. > -Original Message- > From: Gaz [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 1:28 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: PIX activation key [7:34450] > > 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.

Re: PIX activation key [7:34450]
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.

RE: PIX activation key [7:34450]
Well, I've seen an "R" version and a "U" version but never a "UR" version. I have always been under the assumption that they were mutually exclusive. As for the lack of an activation key, that is odd. What is the current version of the OS? Have you tried to run an upgrade? When you apply for a feature license, such as the free 56-bit (DES) encryption feature, you will be given a new activation key generated via the serial number. I would apply for the 56-bit key and then do an upgrade to the latest code (6.1.1), which will prompt you for a new key if needed.

Re: PIX activation key [7:34450]
You need to get it from your supplier and enter it when you install your software, see below, this is an upgrade I did (I didn't install it this time though), you get prompted to install after you stick the image on the pix ..
