When you (try to) buy your service contract, you will need to give the
model and serial number of the item you are trying to include into your
contract.
If the item qualifies, then you are "approved".
I had some problems adding mine. For some reason the contract was
made under the previous owner name. This was promptly solved, BTW!

Any Cisco partner around the world:

(find a Service Provider)

Every time you want to download an image, they will present you a
copyright notice and an agreement to be accepted. If you choose to
download that image, it is registered into their database and match
against your service contract. If you have a service contract for a 7960
SCCP and is downloading an image for a 12416 router you *MAY* get charged
for that...
*MAY* does not mean that you *will*. But don't complain if you receive an
invoice or a credit card charge billing for that download.
