Upgrading PIX software

[Vahid Pazirandeh <vpaziran () yahoo com>]

Hey All,

Quick questions here.  I'm planning to buy PIX-515E-R-DMZ-BUN (which comes with
32MB RAM).  I also want to use PIX OS v7.x.  I read that I'll need 64MB of RAM
to support 7.x, in "Minimum Memory Requirements":

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/iaabu/pix/pix_sw/v_70/pix_upgd/pixupgrd.htm#wp1032446

So I'll also buy PIX-515-MEM-32.



1. Will purchasing PIX-515E-R-DMZ-BUN and PIX-515-MEM-32 be enough to get PIX
OS 7.x going?  The image is freely downloadable from cisco.com, right?

2. What kind of software upgrade limitations should I expect in the future? 
How is it determined if I can upgrade to 8.x, 9.x, etc?  Is it free?

3. Can I always count on free security patches, or is there a license I need?

Kind regards,
Vahid
