It is the software code, IIRC. It will change the activation key which essentially tells the PIXOS to allow unlimited connections, similar to how you enable 3DES support, etc. To my knowledge, that is all that changes.

When I buy a license, what changes, are they giving me a chip, a disk, or simply a different boot floppy, etc. ? am I going to have to open the box and change hardware, or is it simply a tftp update? Do I change some flash rom? Or is the license quantity simply a different CISCO os version that I boot up with? I do not understand what will change when I get more licenses.

That's the legal answer at least... Thanks. Wes Noonan, MCSE/CCNA/CCDA/NNCSS/Security+ Senior QA Rep. BMC Software, Inc.

My question is, how can the licensed connections number be changed? Is that a flash rom setting, or what? What do I do to change it to unlimited connections?
