Relevancy depends mainly on the specs and if the box has any market
value :-)
Depending on your needs you could:
1.) Keep the box and lease a new one for newer stuff. Depends on if you
ever have to go back to V5R2 or not.
2.) Sell the box and lease a new one if you want to stay current and
exchange every couple of years.
3.) Simply keep the current box and upgrade to V6R1, V7R1, etc.......
and keep software maintenance current.
Bottom line is whether the monthly payment would hit you that hard or
not. Also, if you won't get any money for the box, you might as well
keep it.
My personal strategy has been to buy out every lease that I've had, yet
that has left us with some older hardware that we NEVER use that sucks
electricity.
Anybody compile back to V3R2 :-) ?

subject: To Sell 520 or Not To Sell 520
I have a 520 with V5R4 on it.and I have V6R1 for it, just have not
installed
it yet.
I'm trying to decide if I should keep it or not.
I'm wondering if it might be better to sell it outright now, while it is
still relevant, and worth a little more money, as opposed to waiting
until
V6R1 is reaching end of life and I can no longer upgrade it.
If I sold it, I could lease a newer box.but that's not the same as
owning
one.
What to do.what to do.
Thoughts? Opinions?
