You may consider leasing the server? Perhaps you can deal with support and licensing and lease it to a third party. Maybe get some roi anyway.

It is final. You cannot resell your Barracuda box to anyone and expect Barracuda to license it. I just spoke with a VP of sales and he said just that. I told him that they should tell people this when they buy them and he told me they "try" to tell everyone. I will tell you this.... I wasn't told. $2500 later it isn't worth a dime. I did ask why they cannot refurb the machine for a fee and then allow it to be resold. They told me it wasn't policy to do this. I look at it as this is how they are protecting their margins on new sales. No buy back no resale, no good, but I will have fun when I take my .270 and try to paint a smiley face on it from 200 yards away. Oh, he did mention that it is still a functioning server if I wanted to use as such. Anyway, end of thread for me. I just want you all to know this if you consider purchasing one. Stay with it for 3 years or you lost your investment. Thanks for the headsup on this guys. Now we know. I hope I stuck to the facts with no rumor or bad info.
