You normally need a maintenance contract with cisco directly or a local provider, to entitle you to IOS downloads. That provider can then "entitle" your cisco account to do downloads.

Hello,
In order to download images from Cisco website you need the following:
1- Have a valid Cisco ID.
2- Have a Smart net contract on that equipment associated to your Cisco ID.
3- Log in to Cisco Website, search for your equipment model, and download the image.
4- Use TFTP to copy the image to the Cisco Equipment.
5- Use the boot system command to change the boot sequence
6- Reload the equipment.
7- use a show version to check if you have the new image.
Note: Doing a backup is always good practice, using a second boot image is also recommended.
