Yeah, the yearly licensing is brutal, but it does encourage you to forklift it after a few years & upgrade.


I'm not sure how artificial barriers to keeping the same hardware makes sense, and selling hardware that also requires licensing is a lot harder than selling e.g. Ubiquiti stuff.


It only makes sense for Cisco, ultimately it is just a moneygrab.
