Does this sound right? > Apart from the fact that I've had several occasions where there weren't any complaints about getting SMARTnet for older gear (and the serial was sent in when ordering, so $C knew it was older and off of SN for a while) - If what you're after is the IOS update, and you're being quotet for the time in between, why not go software-only SMARTnet? It even contains config/TAC support (if ever required), full access to the download area, and it's something like half of the regular SNT ... plus, there's no logical reason to require a re-cert, as your hardware itself isn't covered ...
