Licenses, upgrades, and Service contracts

Hello

I just find myself thrown into the deep end and responsible for implementing a VPN system so that our clients can enter our network to access resources. The problem is I am a software developer not a network administrator and there is no money to pay a consultant, it is so for me to get there.

I was presented with an ASA 5510 Security Plus that I played with for a few days now. I have a few pieces configured such as access SSH, ADSM, transfer of routing between outside and inside, DMZ and some NAT/PAT. I am currently working on the implementation of a basic VPN while reading the book of Richard Deal.

Questions about upgrading

This morning, I noticed that there is a version 8.4 of the ASA software. The box I have running 8.2 (5). Is it worth the upgrade?

Assuming that it should be to upgrade this do I need? I was on the Cisco download site and found what I think is the good software , but apparently I need a service contract to download. Keeping in mind that I'm going to need to beg for every penny what service contract do I need and about how much it cost (I'm in England)? It would probably help my cause, if I pointed out a few other benefits of having a contract of support as well.

Questions about VPN

My original plan was to offer our customers access using AnyConnect. I had read that I needed was licensed Essentials (very reasonable) and I was good to go. When I went to download what I think is the good software , but I find that I need a service contract.

Is the software linked above should I use AnyConnect? If this is what service contract do I need?

Thanks for any help, I find licensing as complicated as the configuration!

I would be different with Jennifer advice on this one.

It will be worth your time to get and use Smartnet support. Not only for the software but for help configuration and problem as well. The community of support here is great, but when you're network is having a power failure based on the usefulness of foreigners here is not the way to go.

If ASA is relatively new and has the right amount of memory (1 GB for a 5510) AND new (i.e. no real old configuration that needs any migration); I would recommend starting with a fresh level of current software. (8.4 (4.1) is the most common on the platform 5510.). I would even improve it if it had a current configuration that needs migration. The syntax of the most recent will be used in the future and the older style will be deprecated over time. All new features will be incorporated in the new code with a new major release (9.0) coming out later this year.

  • License upgrade and the previous edition of Windows 7

    Hi, this may seem like an unusual question, but I'm lost and I don't know what position of Microsoft on this.

    I upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate machine. Does this mean that I can now use the Home Premium license on a virtual machine, for example? Or not the EULA defending who?

    Depends on:

    • If the license of Windows 7 Home Premium comes with the machine, the answer is no, you cannot transfer it to another computer or virtual machine.
    • If the Windows 7 Home Premium is a full version license, but the Windows 7 Ultimate is an upgrade license, the answer is no, because Windows 7 Ultimate edition that is used as a base license eligible.
    • If Windows 7 complete edition is an Express upgrade, the answer is no, because it serves as a license of qualification based the Home Premium edition.

    Hello!

    So I have a question regarding the upgrade of my computer.

    I recently had a problem when it comes to my RAM. It seems that 8 GB of RAM is not enough, that I use my computer for (mainly play games etc...), as I had many accidents because of the low amount of available ram (for example 4 Fallout, which uses almost all of it).

    So my question is: if I have the RAM on my computer upgrade me a 16 GB Kit, my warranty is void? And would do no matter what kit of RAM, or I have to use strips of crucial ram?

    Also on the side in question, if I decide in the future to update my graphics card to a GTX 1060 (which uses 70W less than my current 270 R9) that manages the more wins.

    Thank you for reading!

    Adding memory wouldn't void your warranty. "Unless you break something, do the upgrade".

    You can use any memory manufacturer provided they meet your specifications.

    ● 204-pin DDR3-DIMM

    ● DDR3 PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) SDRAM memory

    ● Unbuffered non ECC DIMMS (64-bit)

    ● 1, 5V dead memory

    ● 16.0 GB maximum installable memory help

    4 GB modules. Actual available memory that

    can be used in Windows will be less.

  • XP is slow after all service packs and updates. Is there a summary of Windows XP that includes all upgrades and runs FASTER?

    I reformatted my Dell 2.4 ghz pc (only 512 MB of ram) to the original state of xp. It was incredibly FAST.  But to run programs, I was forced to upgrade to service pack 2. Service this pack 3.  It is slower than molasses in January in Chicago.  Microsoft has an XP consolidated and updated that includes all the security updates and new features in 1 integrated fast program?

    Spin Norton - bought after that it came with the machine.

    Ah! Norton applications are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. This gives a whirlwind:

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) via Add/Remove Programs.

    4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

    5. double-click on the file that you saved in #1 above to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    6. do a clean install of your Norton application, using your product ID & reboot: http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

    TIP: Do not activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

    7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate until you get a prompt "no update more".

    For any other person with the same problem, here's what to do:

    1. Enter the serial number of the upgrade of the software (look for the green check mark)
    2. Select the product calling and enter the serial number of eligible product
    3. Software either active or generates an error message. If the error message, go to step 4
    4. Hit (ctrl + Shift + Double click left) - which launches the sequence of stimulus / response as follows:
    5. system creates a code of challenge you will need to provide Adobe with a customer service representative

    Concerning
    Riadh

    Hi Ganga

    (1) I believe you have already OM and other modules in place. So in all likelihood you should already have advanced price configured and installed. Check the 'Oracle Pricing Manager' responsibility. OM / OKS / sales etc modules interact with advanced pricing to get the price of the product info. Regarding the OKS search 'Tools'-> "Price adjustment" in the service contract form design. The feature is clearly explained in the user guide reference that I provided. Through the reference guide for a better understanding.

    (2) your case 'holding term' has to do with the return of the product and subsequent termination of the contract. You will need to consider how you want to manage the flow of product return. Ideally if you cancel the contract in OKS (manually) then you should be able to specify the amount in proportion, to the a/c on the client credit. If you decide to go for customization here, so you can focus on some of the available public APIs.

    Not sure, points 3 and 4. You will have to go for customizing invoice based on your condition. I have no access to an instance can not really try.

    Thank you

  • Cisco Unity Express 8.5.1 upgrade and licensing

    Hello

    We use CUE on 2900 router. This is the version 8.5.1. We want to install this version 8.6.11. But I can't be sure I'll need to upgrade license or something like that, at least, I have to do after this upgrade license or it is compatible with the newer version?

    Thank you

    Kind regards.

    Given that you run CUE 8.5 it means that the license type is CSL already, so no need to license upgrade either. Refer to this guide for more details:

  • Questions of getting started with Service contracts to small businesses

    I recently bought small business Service contracts for my Cisco Small Business networking products. I know that I get support 24 x 7, as well as the ability to open cases taken in charge (I recently tried and it works fine).

    I also know that I get next day material, as well as firmware upgrade replacement for my networking products.

    Here are my some "Getting Started" questions:

    1. If I need a replacement of material next day, how can I go to? Open a case of pension? I saw under the requests of support there is an option for the replacement of equipment.

    2 will I be automatically informed of updates firmware for my networking products, or I have to look it up on the Support Center? I don't know how to upgrade the firmware of all my networking products. Is it possible to subscribe to a list of email or RSS feeds notifying me of updates firmware for my networking products?

    3. I will announce when my service contract is about to expire so I can renew them, or is it my responsibility to do not forget to renew? I have to manually put on my calendar?

    Thank you!

    (1) to request an RMA number, you must open a case to the HWC.    You can call 866-606-1866 24 x 7 to prosecute.    If you do not have a support contract, (under warranty) you are only entitled to phone support 09:00-18:00 (local time) m..     You MUST be prepared to troubleshoot the device with the HWC engineer.     Do not assume you can open a file and receive an RMA number without looking at the camera.     Often, we can save the camera and make you save a lot of time.

    (2) you can sign up for automatic alerts on updates of the firmware using this link and by selecting the devices you want updates on.    The 2nd link allows you to manually check for updates.

    http://www.Cisco.com/Cisco/Web/support/index.html

    http://www.Cisco.com/Cisco/support/notifications.html

    (3) I checked with HWC contracts administrator.       According to her, you should begin to receive alerts from 6 months to 90 days before the expiry of the contract.    You may or may not be able to renew the contract, based on the life cycle of the product.

    In response to Dirk: you can extend the support of the product by buying a service contract any time during the period of 1 year warranty.     A support agreement for your device can be purchased from any local Cisco partner or any Cisco partner online.     Here are the main advantages of a contract on the guarantee.     They are a great value.

    • Extended telephone technical support from 1 to 3 years
    • Replacement of tip / the day following RMA return vs factory RMA
    • technical support 24 x 7 vs.  9. 6 M - business hour support F.
    • Firmware update
    • Even if your product my have a lifetime material warranty, which does not qualify for the technical / troubleshooting / configuration is supported without a contract.     With the warranty on the equipment only, the HWC troubleshoot your product just enough to know if it qualifies for a replacement of hardware.
       
     
  • Envy 15 k233ca: memory upgrades and hhd

    I'm trying to find out if the k233ca has a capacity of upgrade. By reading the plug here and there, the motherboard has 2 slots and there is 1 to 8 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3L module.

    When I called customer service to see if there was a favorite of the seller, they told me that the Ram was not expandable as the machine has only 1 location and tot of the MB does support up to 8 GB.

    Well...

    As a technician, I'm leaning towards believing the former rather than the latter, and since I did not open upward again, I checked Everest and it shows 2 slots, one with a 8 GB module and a location empty.

    Before I open the unit to find this information for me, I wondering if someone is more familiar with this device, or can point me to a more detailed specifications and current page?

    My questions are specifically,

    1. What is the model of the motherboard more precisely and will support 16 gig?
    2. This is a configuration of dual slot, so I can use 2 x 8 GB modules?
    3. Can I use a low latency Ram? replace the original module to match of course...
    4. Is there a QVL for this MB?

    Now for the HHD, a question... This machine will support SSD?

    Based on the HP ENVY 17 Notebook PC HP ENVY 15 Notebook PC HP ENVY Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service Guide of m7, it seems you should be able to switch to 16 GB of RAM and an SSD as follows;

    Memory

    Please note that it requires an extensive disassembly and reassembly of the computer to make these improvements, including

    remove, replace or loosening the screws up to 83. Also, note that other RAM/HDD/SSD configurations can run on this computer.

    It's a little complicated.

    I guess you remember how it works on Vista and I hope you remember that on your desktop it had placed the shortcut for Toshiba Assist. When you open Toshiba Assist you find the hardware and other utilities and tools from Toshiba.

    So you can install help designed for your model of laptop and Vista. I installed it too.

    Value added Package contains several tools and utilities:
    -Toshiba components pilot common
    -Toshiba Utilities
    -Toshiba PC Diagnostic tool
    -Toshiba Power Saver
    -Toshiba Button support
    -Toshiba zooming utility
    -Toshiba Flash cards

    Installation assistance and you will have access to all important and utility tools.
