used Cisco 1941 with data and security license software update

[Ahmed Al-Hadeethi]

I bought cisco 1941 a while ago to try the traffic engineering with ipv6 support in ipv4 tunnel unfortunately it did not work for me on the current version 5.2, I would like to update the software now in order to try the feture in new softwar, but I do not have a direct contract with Cisco and I cannot download the file from the official Cisco website Is there a way to transfer the device ownership to Holder? I also have another question, will the old license be loaded automatically, or do I also have to purchase a new one?

Cisco licenses are issued to the original purchaser/current owner. If the equipment is sold the license does not transfer to the new owner.

thank you for your response

but now the Question is that mean it can not be upgraded becaus this reisen ?

Unfortunately this is one aspect of purchasing used equipment that software upgrades do require a maintenance contract.
