The images are allowed to certain customers during a migration
with certain agreements met and in writing between the customers and the
Business Unit.

"To aid in the transition, Cisco will provide a 12.2SR train image that will run on the existing Cisco Catalyst 6500 chassis until a migration to the Cisco 7600 platform is complete for qualifying customers. The ability to qualify for this special image will be made available for a limited time. Please contact your local Cisco account team to make a formal request if you need to take this route. If you do not have a local Cisco account team, please contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) and the technicians will have a Cisco representative contact you to discuss possible options."
