We don’t buy anything that can’t be managed with a serial connection. That means no fancy web based guis. Licensing is in the same category… A piece of equipment has to do something extraordinary before we’d consider purchasing it, if it implements some sort of license key scheme. We’ve purchased Juniper M series routers in the past and were extremely happy with them (Hey! They actually did what Juniper said they would do without 2 or 3 rounds of hardware upgrades), but I was initially put off because there are license keys embedded in the base software. Then I realized that when the keys expired in 10 years, the boxes would be in the landfill by that time...
