Re: OT - Cisco plans to restrict using IOS for dynamips!

If this means Cisco will put some kind of restriction like an hardware ID
check or something for Dynamips, then its BAD for us!

If it is an pure licensing thing, then it may not be a big deal. Such
restrictions are already in place for PIX but still PEMU works..

the difficult part of emulating the hardware is already done, a small
functionality to bypass the license or perhaps adding an INI config file to
the router with a valid serial no. can always be done. The original license
keys can be used just the way we do it on PEMU.

Long live Dynamips.
