I don't understand? a device that is EOL - you cannot get free updates.

I got a NetScreen-5 (NS-005_001) off eBay. the current Software Version
is 2.6.1r9.1, I would love to upgrade this to the latest or close to
it.
I was told that I need to upgrade to 4.0 then 5.0 then 5.2, BUT I need
a support contract! - why! this Device is "End of Life"

Is there any one out there that could help me out?

Any help will be appreciated!

thank, AL

The NetScreen 5 (not XP, XT, or GT) can only run 2.6.

And you certainly can't be serious about wanting 'free' ScreenOS. What
do you think software mfr's have maintenance costs for? It's so they
can continue to develop software -and- (this is an important part) stay
in business.

It's called due diligence, look into it next time.

I have a netscreen 5XP

too bad netcreen is a great firewall but the juniper apently dont want
custimors to comback judging from their lacking support for peouple
that have paid big cach for their expensive netscreen firewalls ... i
guess we have to get another product next time.. somthing like
watchguard.. or another product from were the producent wants to
support custimors included in the price for life after their product
has left the counter in the stores.. juniper has shown a gready and
cairless attitude towards ther custimors fore a long time now.. i
just hope they will wize up soon..

after all a firewall without support is not safe.. and not worth the
money

sorry about my spelling
