Upgrading IOS on 2811 from V 12.2.X to V 15

[keanej]

I purchased several Cisco 2811 with Advanced IP Services - they are version 12.2.X

The product number looked like this

CISCO2811-HSEC/K9    2811 Bundle w/AIM-VPN/SSL-2,Adv IP Serv,10 SSL lic,128F/512D

I need to upgrade the IOS to version 15.1 -

Do I require a license ?

What happens if I install it without a License ?

Am I entitled to a free license as I am not changing the software type (ADV IP Serv) ?

Any help appreciated.

As long as you paid for Advanced IP Services IOS, and have a valid service contract, you can load IOS 15. But you need to ask your sales guy or SE for the software activations key.

What happens if I install it without a License ?

Than you can't use that feature that requires license.

have a look at figure-4 in this link:
