4 Optional Maintenance and Upgrade Procedures Upgrade to DES or 3DES Note The following instructions are applicable to PIX Firewall Version 6.2 and higher releases. If you are not running PIX Firewall Version 6.2, refer to the Quick Start Guide for the version of software installed on your PIX Firewall. To upgrade features you did not specify at the time of purchase, you need to use an activation key. The activation key lets you add software features to the PIX 506E, such as DES or 3DES. To obtain a free DES (56-bit) license key for the PIX Firewall, use the IPSec 56-bit Customer Registration form. Accessing this form requires prior registration on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/register. However, access to this form does not require a purchase or service contract. You can register as a guest and then proceed to fill out the form. The form is available at the following website: http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Software/FormManager/formgenerator.pl?pid=221&fid=324 Note If you are unable to access this form because you do not have a CCO login, send an e-mail to [email protected]. In the e-mail include the PIX Firewall serial number as it appears in the show version command output and request a free 56-bit DES key. You must purchase a 3DES (168-bit) license key, or have a service contract, to obtain a 3DES license key. If you have already purchased a 3DES upgrade, and you have your Cisco PIX Firewall 3DES upgrade document with the entitlement number printed on it, you can register your license key for use on your PIX Firewall with the License Registration form. Accessing this form also requires prior registration on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/register. The License Registration form is available at the following website: http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Software/FormManager/formgenerator.pl?pid=221&fid=301 You must also purchase or have a service contract to download PIX Firewall software. Enter the activation key only after you have downloaded an image-not from the command line or without rebooting first. Note You can verify if you have the DES or 3DES feature by entering the show activation-key command. 8
