Upgrading from non Crypto to Crypto Image

[ceislw_123]

Folks,

Can I upgrade from c3750e-universal-mz.122-35.SE2 image to the K9 version free of charge?

Looked everywhere with no joy, although I'm pretty certain that there is no charge to upgrade to a K9 image as long as the release and feature set are the same.

Can anyone confirm?  I have no smartnet on the particular devices I am wanting to enable ssh on.

Thanks

I think you're correct, you might be entitled to use a crypto (same) version if you're legally licensed to use a non-crypto version.  The issue may be, obtaining a copy if you don't have a Smartnet contract.

You may need to contact Cisco.

Hey

Yes its free but on newer platforms you would need a license for some of the advanced k9 features to work , you should be alright with 3750e , image will take either way and should be fine for ssh though anyway
