Why i can't download IOS = "Service contract required" ???!!!

Hi,
I try to update IOS for my router (Cisco 2821 ).
When i click to download button, i receive this message : Service contract required
What can i do for upgrade IOS on my hardware ? Is it needed to pay for this ? WTF ?
Thks for your advise in advance.
Best Regards.

Just for the record, let me clarify some terminology.
An update is when you get software of a newer version but the mostly same capbility.
An upgrade is when you get software of substantially improved capability or new features in a feature family.
A feature set upgrade is when you move up to a different licensed set of features.
In general, service contracts will get you updates and ugrades, but feature set upgrades will require a purchase (just like going from Windows Home to Windows Ultimate, for example)
The issue that Leo refers to was the January 2011 change where software center started a more rigourous enforcement of access based on covered products, which prevented users from downloading software for devices and device families for which they had no service contract.  Customers have always needed a service contract to download Cisco IOS; the change merely disabled the ability to inadventently download software for which no active service contract existed.

    I don't know why given the minimal information you're provided so far. What computer are you trying to update from, and what happens when you try?

  • I don't understand why I can't download for free the apps designed by Apple, such as Pages and Numbers, which are free with iOS 7. Can anyone help me?

    I don't understand why I can't download for free the apps designed by Apple, such as Pages and Numbers, which are free with iOS 7. Can anyone help me?

    The apps are free with iOS 7 if you purchased a new device after September 2013. The apps do not come free just because you are running iOS 7 now. Did you purchase or receive a new iPad recently?
    If you did, are you using the same Apple ID to get the apps that you used to activate the iPad? If you are, sign out of your ID, restart your iPad, sign in again and go back to the App Syore and see if the apps show up as free.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad and go back to the settings and sign in again.

  • Why I can only download 20 photos for last month from the photostream while I have more than 3GB photos kept in iCloud? Many thanks.

    Why I can only download 20 photos for last month from the photostream while I have more than 3GB photos kept in iCloud? My iPhone was stolen and the photos in it are very precious to me. Many thanks.

    On a new device you can only download what is currently stored in "My Photo Stream" in iCloud. iCloud keeps up to the last 1000 photos, but only the photos, that have been added during the last month. Older photos may be removed, when the time is up. On other devices you may be seeing older photos as well in "My Photo Stream", that will depend on the available storage on those devices, and when the Photo Stream has been enabled on those devices, see:  My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
    If you are seeing other photos in the Photo Stream on other devices, that you want to save, mail them to you from the other devices.
    Have you tried to restore your iPhone from the last iCloud backup of the old phone? The backup will contain the photos in the Camera Roll, but not the photos in Photo Stream.   iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • Trying to install pages app, but can't download iOS 5.0

    Trying to install "pages" app, but can't download iOS 5.0? Is iOS the same as iTunes updates?

    Is there a reason why you cannot download the update to iOS 5?
    When you connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes, you can select your iPad in the left sidebar of iTunes and then click on the summary tab on the right. Click on the Check for Update button - if iTunes does not present the update to you in a pop up window.

    May just be the update server acting glitchy due all the people slamming it right now. I'd give it 24 hrs, and if it's still doing it, check back in here and we'll see if we can't figure it out.
