Updated IOS on off-contract devices

datchcha

Forum,
I have a number of used Cisco ASA5505s which have an old IOS. Is it possible to purchase a support contract from CDW (example) so I am able to download the new IOS for my products? I am not the original owner of these devices, I purchased them used.

Thank you

last time I checked on something similar you could but it was very expensive and only supported if you were 1 revision behind the current, it worked out better to buy minimal Smartnet support contracts (which also give you access to the images).
