Hello, Kevin:

"Standard" filer licenses will neither transfer to different filers nor to new users. Thus, for the protection of their company's investment, it is important that buyers of new NetApp filers insist on transferable licenses.

There are used (and deeply discounted) F700 series systems -- with licenses that WILL transfer freely to the new owner -- which we would be happy to discuss with you.

Regards,

Does anyone know the limits of transferrability of the standard filer license? I was just considering swapping an older box for something newer (but used) and was wondering if anyone had looked into the contract language of "transferring" the licenses to the newer filer..
