said by Kirby Smith:Q. But how CHEAP is the renewal after three years?
Q. Is the CLI fairly standard by CISCO standards (sorry), or different, or not accessible?
for the 8 UTM services the Renewal is $84 [total] per year or $250 for 3 years. This is remarkably cheaper than the USG license cost which add up to a great deal more. The renewal price depends on how its purchased since CISCO have a MSO way of doing business so the MSO could charge a lot more than what I stated. If you're wondering what MSO stands for --- Multiple Service Operator.
I do not know if CLI is available -- I used the wizards that walk you through each stage of the configuration -- I was surprized how well they work. I did not have much time to experiment or look around.
