My primary interest with this query is to do everything above-board from a software licensing perspective.
Hardware support (warranty) and TAC support is a secondary concern. Software updates, on the other hand, do kind of matter. Is there a "right way" to handle software updates without a support contract? What is it? Surely the folks who buy this thing aren't forever stuck with whatever software version it happens to ship with... Are they? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833120360 It's frustrating that the OS required to run a router can't be transferred with the device. I'm sure people would freak right out if, say, General Motors tried that with the software that runs in their cars. Heck, even Microsoft allows you to transfer OS licenses, sometimes with hardware, sometimes without. It's not clear that it's even *possible* to use secondhand Cisco equipment without running afoul of the license terms, which seems kind of crazy. I'm just hoping I'm wrong about this, for the cases where the budget falls somewhere between "stealing" and "gold plated" On Tue, Jan 7, 2014 at 1:06 PM, Alan Buxey <a.l.m.bu...@lboro.ac.uk> wrote: > What about support with Cisco (eg TAC) and software updates, security > patches, bug fixes etc? > > alan > -- > Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
