Thomas, The licenses do not transfer. If you buy the hardware and want to put it on Smartnet, then Cisco wants to resell you a license and will most likely send a third party out to "recertify the equipment".
The process is not hard. Basically you order new licenses and smartnet and then they will schedule someone to check it out. If you are purchasing gear let me know. I have a list of .com gear I can forward you. I know a financial company who just foreclosed on a .com. Mike Paulson Thomas Larus wrote: > I have the same question about Smartnet.
