I just ordered an i5 520.  We will be trading in our 270.  Both are in P10
software tier.  I contacted all vendors where we have 3rd party software (7
altogether).  All of them said just to let them know after we move to the
new machine and they will get us a new license key based on the S/N.  Every
vendor except Byteware (Stanguard Antivirus).

Byteware says:

1) It will cost us $250 to transfer to the new machine.  They are not
sending new software or anything to us whatsoever.  There is nothing
model-specific in their antivirus product, per them.  The only thing they
are doing is providing a new license key.

2) And we must run a "Permanent Transfer Authorization Program" on the old
system before we can have the code for the new system.  Their literature
says this program will "permanently uninstall the Byteware products.  This
is a permanent transfer and once the program is run on your old system you
will not be able to restore the software back to the old system, ever.  This
is a permanent transfer."  This means we either a) cannot test it on the new
machine until live cutover, or b) will not have antivirus protection on the
current production system.

Does any of this sound reasonable?
