Yep, we've been through this recently. It's fairly painless as long as
you're willing to:
(1) Pay the price for the maintenance contract in question
(2) Pay the price for IOS licence for the box
(3) Pay about a few $thousand for an on-site, service-affecting inspection
and certification of the box - Global Service will have a service
technician visit the site in question (yours or wherever you may have
installed the box) and make sure it works. As part of that inspection
they'll want to have enable access, and will want to reboot it.
