I know that when we went from 4.4(6) up to 5.2(5) we had to input a new Activation key. That was during the old boot from rom mode upgrade. We were running 3DES and Failover on 520's. I have always asked for and received a new code when changing major versions ( from 5 to 6 in my lab ). I didn't change feature sets, I just changed major revision. I may not have needed to when going from 5 to 6, but I know for a fact that the 4 to 5 upgrade wouldn't let me proceed until I had a code. I found that out the hard way at 3:00 am...DOH..
I will downgrade and upgrade and give it a try when I get back from the lab...

Act key is bound to a serial number, so unless you change your PIX, or require some new features enabled on the PIX, you don't need new act key. License key is software independent. 6.2.2 is very stable code. I don't see you having problem with it. It has quit a few new feature that are very useful. 6.3 code will not be available until 1st quarter 2003. And of course no need to go into a monitor mode :-). The OS upgrade on the PIX sounds pretty simple because it's just .... that simple... -- Lidiya White -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Roberts, Larry Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 5:43 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: PIX Upgrade [7:53747] Uhmm,, no not true depending on version. I just upgraded from 6.1(4) to 6.2 and in fact used copy tftp flash: I went from 5.2(1) TO 5.2(5) via this method as well. Things to watch for though are version transitions. Going from 5.x to 6.x will require a new activation code. You can get a DES version key by sending your information to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and tell them what version you are going to. They need the serial number and I believe the current activation key. On older versions of code, you need to step-up one revision at a time. This is not the case with newer versions, however it is recommended if you are going more that a couple revisions ahead.

You should then upgrade PDM, which you do the traditional way. I just did this a couple of days ago and it worked fine.
