I posed this question to a Cisco account rep. He said you must purchase the IOS and it will cost close to the same as a normal discount on the whole system. You hit it right when you said about the profit line. The account reps get nothing when you purchase used equipment. You may be better off getting a new chassis and then buying all the guts for cheap. This way you can cover yourself on the SmartNet. I'm not sure there is an easy AND legal way around it.

My company is about to purchase 2 6509's from a company that went out of business. I have been instructed to place them under A smartnet as they are going to be put into production. My question is what do I need to do to get this eq. certified and covered? Can I just buy the software license and the smartnet, or is there some Other process? I know I can not be the only person who has done this, but every person at Cisco that I talked to was less than helpful due to the part that this cuts into Cisco's profit. Any help or links would be appreciated!
