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...
