>A current maintenance contract with Cisco or a reseller is

   the provision of <SPAN

   upgrades.  In most jurisdictions Cisco software licenses are not
   transferrable, so if you purcashed the access server on the
   second-hand market you will need to purchase a software license
   from Cisco or a reseller.</P
