Actually (and ironically given the context of this thread !) the reason I found out about the policy change was because I was helping someone out who was looking to dump their Ubiquiti kit and realistically it looked like Ruckus was going to be the only sensible option (despite the already unpalatable price premium before the new policy).
As you may or may not be aware, Ruckus have an "all quoted" policy, there is no price list per-se.
At the time I was working on the project (late 2020) Ruckus did have a promotional activity going on where you could buy Unleashed kits at fixed prices without quoting.
However due to various technical questions that were coming up (e.g. IPv6 support) we missed the window and it was uncertain if Ruckus were going to extend the promotion.
Ruckus did extend the promotion, at least initially (Jan-Feb 21') but then they switched to the "license per AP for Unleashed" and the promotion was killed off.
It was at at that point that my friend took the hint and dumped the idea of Ruckus and I went back to my normal work.
If I get a chance I'll try to find out what happens about second-hand kit. My guess would be that if you stay on old firmware there's not much they can do about it. Although whether its desirable or advisable to stay on old firmware is another question, obviously.
