[c-nsp] DNA -- How do I justify the expense to mgmt when we'll never use it?

[Drew Weaver]

If the price of the hardware wasn't already juiced beyond belief then maybe it would make sense but ... yeah I am just going to have to find another vendor.

Thanks,
-Drew

I'm with you on that one, licensing kills any interest in it for us too. 
Goes for a large number of cisco products now , where before was only limited to a few.

It's sad because I love cisco switches and routers, but it's a huge deterrent now with the forced licensing and support
