What do the contracts look like after shipment?

Entitlements and Customers
§ Customers need to have keys loaded on their appliance in order to (a)
enable certain functions and (b) demonstrate support
§ They can get from the web site.
§ Keys are always generated as needed. They are not stored.
§ Customers cut and paste them into their appliance.

Enough high-level concepts --
§ Let’s look at financial and physical flow of inventory.
§ Obviously, entitlements are not stocked and are not transacted in
inventory.
§ Financially, location counts ….. (new/refurb/etc)

So where did the IB-550-DNS come from
§ We purchase an IB-550 on a regular Purchase Order from the
Contract Manufacturer. When we do a receipt for one, we’ll see 1
unit of IB-550 in Inventory.
