Cisco do not give free upgrades for PIX - you can only have the upgrades if
you hold a valid support contract which you have to pay for yearly. And as
to the licensing I guess it's down to how many internal clients you'll
need - the unlimited PIX is very pricey.
Then again I love my PIXen (515-UR with failover), and I've never used CP,
but I thought I'd just set you straight on the upgrade issue.
