their 2 concerns I noted are their margins and their liability of customer
data being passed onto the buyer and puting a companies data at risk and be
sued.. They fear being sued because of the data that this box captures,
they made the box, so they are liable for it. Kind of like a gun
manufacturer, match manufacturers, knife manufacturers...and so on...get
their paranoid view yet, when it can all be managed by wipeing or replaceing
a hard drive... oh well...
They will not budge on this. I told them I would inform the industry and it
will impact their future sales I am certain.

You may consider leasing the server? Perhaps you can deal with support and
licensing and lease it to a third party. Maybe get some roi anyway.

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.)
