Hi Ulrich

This is from the Cisco Internal FAQ on Pagent

Customer Use of Pagent :
> Pagent has been made available to a very limited number of customers. The
> Pagent group does not have the bandwidth to support customers so all support
> has to be provided by a local support rep; a SE or equivalent Cisco employee.
> Before getting access to the Pagent images, the customer is required to sign a
> pre-release software license agreement.
> 
> Pagent documentation has been written for use by Cisco employees only and was
> not intended for outside use. Pagent documentation is not to be given to
> customers. All Pagent training, answering customer questions, obtaining images
> and license keys is the responsibility of the local support rep.
> 
> If you need to support Pagent for a customer, start by emailing pagent-support
> to get a copy of the pre-release software license agreement that needs to be
> signed by the customer.

>From your name you sound Danish, if so send me an email and we can discuss
if pagent is the right tool for you.
If you are not Danish let me know and I will find a SE in you local country
that can assist (well, I will try to)

Best regards
Soren
