    Hi,
    i bought an 887va-w-e-k9 but it’s still in box. Now i’m using 877w since 3/4 years, (i had 827 and 837) this license activation from cisco it’s a mess. My 887va use Advanced Security 15.0(1)M, if i wish upload with tftp the 15.1.4M4, is necessary the procedure of activation? If I must have a regular smartnet contract to manage all the ios software update i sell the cisco 887va without open the box 🙁

    1. If you upload a new IOS you don’t have to reactivate the license 🙂
      You can update your IOS without to do the procedure again. Only when your device is new and have the wrong license 🙂

        thx for the reply!!! nice news from u… i was thinking to sell it as sealed in box without opening 🙂 in the week end i’ll setup the cisco887va… Its’ new so i think the activation is done in the flash. I’ll pray because my 877 works with 46db attenuation@6,8 Mbit who knows if the 887va will work better than 877… i still have some doubt! But we’ll see it 🙂

  2. Thanks for another useful web website. Where else may I get that sort of information coded in such an perfect means? I’ve a undertaking that I am basically now operating on, and I’ve been on the look out for similarly information.
