Obtaining a DES License or a
3DES-AES License
The Cisco PIX 515E security appliance is available either with a DES or
3DES-ASE license that provides encryption technology to enable specific
features, such as secure remote management (SSH, ASDM, and so on), site-to-site
VPN, and remote access VPN. The license is enabled through an encryption
license key.
If you ordered your security appliance with a DES or 3DES-AES license, the
encryption license key comes with the adaptive security appliance.
If you are a registered user of Cisco.com and would like to obtain a 3DES/AES
encryption license, go to the following website:

If you are not a registered user of Cisco.com, go to the following website:

Provide your name, e-mail address, and the serial number for the security
appliance as it appears in the show version command output.
Note
You will receive the new activation key for your security appliance within two
hours of requesting the license upgrade.
