>A current maintenance contract with Cisco or a reseller is
required to download software updates. This contract also includes
the provision of <SPAN

upgrades. In most jurisdictions Cisco software licenses are not
transferrable, so if you purcashed the access server on the
second-hand market you will need to purchase a software license
from Cisco or a reseller.</P
