I couldn't imagine they'd charge extra for that. For the smaller
Catalyst switches (29xx/3xxx) you're always entitled to upgrade within
the same feature set (Base/Services).

AFAICT there's no product sold for going from a non-K9 version to a
K9-enabled version of any software.

Of course, only way to be certain is asking Cisco.
