Re: Used IOS?

Interesting, but maybe not applicable. They could say that the software is a part of the hardware and say it's an all or nothing proposition. You want the software you have to buy the hardware and that although the software is sold to you, it is licensed for use only with the hardware. Who knows...it's an interesting situation never-the-less.

 An interesting article and judgement and I would guess almost certain to go to appeal because of its importance.

Cisco have always said that it is illegal to use the installed software even when you buy the hardware (s/h) - you are supposed to re-licence the software.

Clearly everybody must ignore this as it is not cost effective to buy s/h kit and re-licence. From this judgement then I would guess that Cisco can't legally enforce this.

If you read the article in full it does note that this judgement is different to several other recent judgements and I suspect the matter will not be permanently resolved until it goes "all the way". In the UK it has always been argued that "licence" agreements are not enforceable but it has never been tested in the courts.

That would make buying/selling stuff on Ebay easier!
