http://www.infoworld.com/t/hardware/hidden-cost-hardware-729 This is six years old - but that's kinda my point. At least in the past, Cisco was insistent on relicensing IOS fees, which were sold separately from SmartNet support contracts. Cisco itself still seems to think this is the case: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/iosswrel/prod_gen_ios_licensing.html "Do not transfer Cisco IOS software licenses from one company to another except in special circumstances, such as company mergers." And the license itself: http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-license-agreement.html uses the word "nontransferable" in a couple places, though that could be boilerplate. I'd love to be wrong on this, so if you've got documentation supporting your assertion that IOS licenses are attached to hardware (and thus can be transferred with the hardware itself), please post it.
