[c-nsp] Re-licensing secondhand Cisco equipment

[John Elliot]

So, just to clarify - You can purchase refurb/secondhand Cisco kit and then purchase a smartnet contract for software access/updates(And also hardware replacement)?

But you cant purchase (legally) refurb/secondhand kit and use it with the software running on it?
