Question : VPN license limit

I have a Cisco PIX 506e.  The data sheet says it supports 25 concurrent site to site VPN's - see below
 Simultaneous VPN peers: 25*
* Maximum number of simultaneous site-to-site or remote access IKE Security Associations
(SAs) supported

we have 25 Cisco 837's used to establish VPN tunnels to remote offices from the 506e.

Am I up to my limit?  

My support company says our "PIX has a minimum of 50 concurrent VPN connections. Depending on the IOS installed it could be more"

Can this be right?

Answer : VPN license limit

>Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.3(3)
The very latest (and LAST) is ver 6.3(5) which is a maintenance/bug fix release that adds no new features.

>This PIX has a Restricted (R) license.
ALL 506e's have Restricted only license. There is no upgrade. Only with model 515 and above you could upgrade to UNRestricted (UR) license

>IKE peers:                   Unlimited
This is misleading because of the stated limitations in the documentation.

Personal opinion - your "consultants" don't know the Cisco product very well.
