PIX questions.

Going to sell a PIX by second hand and with the following features

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.3(5) Cisco PIX Device Manager Version 3.0(4)

How much could I ask for it?

If the buyer wants to upgrade to finess 7.x does he need to enter a new Activation key? The PIX doesn't have any 3DES-AES VPN accelerator card. Which is the spare number?

TIA

Alex.

That's obsolete and no longer available.

To get the encryption key, you fill out the form on one of cisco's web pages, and they email it to you for free -- provided you are eligible for it at all.

I've lost track of the eligibility requirements. Alex is in Italy, which appears to be one of the countries whose nationals are permitted under ITAR to receive encryption licenses -- but it does not appear to me [in a few minutes search] that the same is true for all European countries, so Alex would have potential issues in exporting a PIX with the AES license key. Legally safer to not install the key and let the new owner get the key if they wanted (after, that is, Relicensing the device....)
