Sorry for posting a few basic newbie posts
Is it possible to change the ios version on the router?
the reason i ask is i have purchased a few routers from various sources and i would like the same IOS version on there
1 is quoted as having 1.4 with call manager express on there.
I have no idea how ciscos software licencing works - so i gather people just download the ios's from torrents - or is it legal to change the version?

You can not change the IOS from a torrent website, downloading via a torrent is illegal. I'm not sure if they are the same router if you could use the other routers image or not... -

i understand that technically if you download the image from a torrent - it is ilegal
i just wondered how other people did it
there are a lot of listings on ebay saying that "if you want a different IOS it can be put on"
i wondered how people got away with this - hense me asking about licencing/copyright issues
I dont actually intend downloading a image - i just wondered how people did this legally -

If you're following the rules set out by Cisco, the copy of IOS that is present on a second hand device isn't legal either. Cisco encourage people to buy brand new equipment by insisting that you pay a fee to relicense IOS if you buy a second hand device.
