Ok. It is final. You cannot resell your Barracuda box to anyone and expect
Barracuda to license it. I just spoke with a VP of sales and he said just
that. I told him that they should tell people this when they buy them and
he told me they "try" to tell everyone. I will tell you this.... I wasn't
told. $2500 later it isn't worth a dime.
I did ask why they cannot refurb the machine for a fee and then allow it to
be resold. They told me it wasn't policy to do this. I look at it as this
is how they are protecting their margins on new sales. No buy back no
resale, no good, but I will have fun when I take my .270 and try to paint a
smiley face on it from 200 yards away. Oh, he did mention that it is still
a functioning server if I wanted to use as such. Anyway, end of thread for
me. I just want you all to know this if you consider purchasing one. Stay
with it for 3 years or you lost your investment.
Thanks for the headsup on this guys. Now we know. I hope I stuck to the
facts with no rumor or bad info.

Like Microsoft? If you read user agreements, you will find that many
software vendors do not allow license transfer.

I have a barracuda for sale if anyone is interrested off list.
Switched
from Postini to Barracuda and it was like I turned off their oxigen.
Had to go back to postini.
So, if you are interrested email me off list. I will make you a deal
Fair warning for anyone who's interested in this: Check with Barracuda
first, to be sure you can actually do this. A few months back, I picked
up a used Barracuda Spam Firewall on eBay, and they wouldn't activate it
or provide me service, as it was second-hand.
There were other odd circumstances involving this particular unit, but I
got the impression that they don't like dealing with "used" units,
period. Call Barracuda, make sure this won't be a problem. (You may want
to get the serial number of the unit first, as that's how they track
update subscriptions and whatnot.)
