I think you can’t use it as a search engine after the license expires, so thus on ebay are just useful as a server you can install something else on.

I have set up a website where you can try out several enterprise search engines on the same data. Have a look at http://www.opentestsearch.com/ . There is also a review of each one.

I am not a lawyer. But I think you would pay custom duty of 25% on the pc. It even worse, because your 1000 USD pc is now not a 1000 USD pc, but a 1250 USD pc because that is what you paid for it. I believe it would go something like this

This may be easily countered by making the mortar round rotate faster. At list that has been the concern in the past. I guess that the laser has to heat the mortal shell so it exploded in mid ear. If the shell rotate slow it may be possible
