Cisco’s Security Patch Comedy: Free Updates, But No License for You!
Cisco has released free software updates to address a vulnerability. Customers with service contracts can obtain updates through regular channels. Remember, free updates won’t get you a new license or extra features. And if you’re wondering, yes, Cisco’s legal team did write this advisory with a thesaurus in hand!
Hot Take:
Well, isn’t this a classic case of “You get what you pay for”? Cisco’s new free software updates are here to save the day… if you have a service contract or the right license, that is. Otherwise, it’s like trying to get into a VIP club with a fake ID. Good luck, buddy!
Key Points:
- Cisco’s free software updates target specific vulnerabilities but require a valid service contract or license.
- Customers must adhere to the Cisco software license agreement, ensuring they have the right permissions.
- The Cisco Support and Downloads page offers a treasure trove of licensing and download information.
- The Cisco Software Checker tool helps identify vulnerabilities and the necessary updates.
- For those without a service contract, contacting Cisco TAC is the way to go for software updates.
