    Cisco

    They have to be one of the most paranoid companies out there. I needed an immediate update to software that ONLY works if you own their hardware. Instead I ended up registering as a "registered guest" that still has no DL rights. Now I have to wait for the president of the company to verify that I'm associated with them And leave the clients house with the machine not working. What happens if I was not able to be associated with a reseller? I just forget about the expensive piece of hardware that no longer works or pay for tech support?

    The issue is that many of the Cisco software licenses do not transfer to a second owner. There is a big demand for updated software to be illegally installed in used equipment.

    Its actually just the VPN client. No firmware or anything... which I believe they make you pay for. Unless it upgrades the functionality of the hardware a company should not do this.
