I'm awaiting for my 5505 3DES device to arrive and trying to get the software current on it. However the downloads section only lists ASA 8.0(x) for the K8 edition. Am I missing somethere here? I want to update to ASA 8.0 and ASDM 6.x. But that does not seem like a possibility with the software provided on the site?

what is different between k8 and k9

in traditional IOS (not pix/asa), k9 is the encryption (3des/aes) image, while k8 doesn't support anything beyond des due to export controls.
In pix/asa for whatever reason, the image is the same no matter what, you just need the activation key to turn on those features - which doesn't change the image name. hence, the k8 image is just fine, as long as the 3des/aes license has been applied once.
