Like I said in my previous post similar to Brad's... It'll PROMPT you about if you want to change/add any new features/configurations. Can't remember the syntax exactly, but it's the only question prompt you get before it does the "Saving to flash..."
It's really that simple. When you answer yes, it will then prompt you for your key... And you will enter in each of the sets of alpha-numerics one line at a time... i.e.: boot> c3g4lz then hit enter boot> hit enter boot> hit enter boot> and so on, and so on, until your finished. It will then finish the "Saving to Flash..." bit after that. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Rick Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 10:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: PIX 501 Upgrade [7:46519] I have not been able to find a way to upgrade mine from DES that it came with to a 3DES that I purchased. According to the docs the only way to upgrade the license is to reinstall the OS and it recommends upgrading at the same time. How do I enter the key?
