Which totally disregards the fact that the ability to handle X2/V.90 is in the modem code. If you have the modem code, it means you had paid for the software upgrades to get them. So buying the key unlocks an ability you've already paid for. It's ridiculous that 3Com is still forcing people to buy the keys for any reason. v.90 should be standard equipment these days.

While LaChina is very nice, I would bet this goes against policy. Unlike a return/rma/repair, you end up with TWO X2/v.90-enabled NMCs for the price of ONE. I have a feeling this would not slip by the alert folks at 3Com that count the beans...

Ask LaChina @ 3com - I bet she will hook you up as you are not asking for a new key, just transferring the license key to another 3com product (HiperNMC) and discontinuing use of the old key (NMC).
Try it ... if your old NMC broke and you got a replacement they would be required to give you a new key ... under warranty for sure - and probably out of warranty as well as the old key (paid for separately) did not break with the nmc!
If that does not work I would ask to speak to a 3com attorney.
BTW: We have done this in the past with broken NMCs but not using the HiperNMC issue.

The problem I have with this is why the hell does the hipernmc require a v90 key for the quad modems? Is 3com going to milk that cow until the udder bleeds? Isn't the fact that we bought the upgrade enough?
I thought it was supposed to be sufficient. My understanding was that if you bought a V90 key, and at a later stage had to replace the NMC, they would issue a new V90 key free of charge.
Maybe that only applies if they've previously conned you into a waste-of-money maintenance contract?
