Ok, use this command: archive download-sw /over tftp://<TFTP IP address>/IOS_filename.tar
Remember, use the IOS file with the TAR file extension.

Leo I'm in the same situation with a 3550. My question is if i load the K9 ios does it require me to enter a license key ?
regards Troy

normally there is no special requirements needed to download a K9 file .

As what Glen (below) stated, no special requirement needed. You can upgrade to K9.

If this is a newer Cisco 3650 then;
You should be able to do a "software install file ..." and install it that way. It should cleanup and remove any files to create enough space for the installation.
I often put the new software on a usb memory key, plug it into the switch, and install it from there.
If this is an older 3560 switch, use the "archive download-sw ..." command with a full install bundle. It will remove the old software as needed.

The archive command should remove the old software for you.
