[j-nsp] Juniper Re-registration

[cjwstudios]

If I were interested in purchasing an M7i that was out of contract,
purchased used from a third-party its my understanding that, in order
to download software updates, from Juniper I would need to pay a
re-registration fee.

I found one part number for re-registration SVC-JUNOS-REG which @ $10k
was twice the cost of the M7i.  Am I correct in assuming that, in
order to obtain legitimate software updates this would be the only
course to proceed?

Also I'm interested in a good deal on a used M7i or M10i.  Thank you,

Christopher
