Cisco – Copy Software from on IOS-Device to another

access-pointaironetciscocisco-ios

I have 3 Aironet Access Points.

2 are running on Version 15.3(3)JBB1 and when I factory resetted and its actually running on Version 15.2(4)JB3a.

I wanted to copy the Configuration of on of the AP to the resetted one. But they are not on the same software and I think, this is the reason why i don't work right.

We don't have an active contract (I asked) with Cisco. Is it possible to get the Image from one AP to another? And which file is it?

Here's the output of the flash:

AP#show flash: 

Directory of flash:/

c1140-k9w7-mx.153-3.JBB1 is a fodler where I think the image is stored. But I need a tar file (for upgrading with gui).

What should I do? Are isn't it possible to upgrade the one AP and i have to stay at 15.2 with this one.

UPDATE1:

AP#copy flash:/c1140-k9w7-mx.153-3.JBB1/c1140-k9w7-xx.153-3.JBB1 ftp://ftpuser:ftppassword@IP//home/upload/

EDIT: As per Ron's comment, if you can't get the licensed IOS from Cisco than you don't have the correct licensing required to upgrade.
