wepcrack Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Dear all, My contract recently expired with CISCO but need a copy of the 7.0 software release. My 4404 WLC has a bug a need to sort this out ASAP. Please help if you can.
elsiegee40 Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) The only way to get this legitimately is to pay Cisco for it. EduGeek is a professional forum and does not permit people to recommend ways of bypassing rules. Edited November 14, 2017 by elsiegee40
pete Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Not to contradict the mods @elsiegee40, but Cisco do have a policy of making some security fixes available without a contract if you can point to a valid Cisco security advisory. You may not get release 7.0, but if it's a security vulnerability, Cisco may make available a software release that has a fix included. More info here: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/about/security-center/security-vulnerability-policy.html Specific section: As a special customer service, and to improve the overall security of the Internet, Cisco may offer customers free software updates to address high-severity security problems. The decision to provide free software updates is made on a case-by-case basis. Refer to the Cisco security publication for details. Free software updates will typically be limited to Cisco Security Advisories. I've used this in the past for a customer who was woefully out of contract. You do have to do all the legwork proving your case with TAC, but it does work. 1

What we won’t condone is back door methods.
