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.

:mod: The only way to get this legitimately is to pay Cisco for it.

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.

Fair enough. It’s legitimate as it’s via Cisco. It may be free which would be great.

 

What we won’t condone is back door methods.
