Hi,

Try using the activation-key command for 6.3 code - But if you running 6.1 or below code then please check the following URL:

3des used to be a separate software license - totally unrelated to UR vs. R license status. Cisco made it a free upgrade a few months ago.

that is the link. you need to fill that out, get an email from cisco. then use the activation key command, and reboot the pix at your leisure, and then strong crypto is yours
