I've never purchased a new 3com pcmcia card, but I've purchased a 3com
combined modem/lan pcmcia card and that came with a licence, as it

such things is unrestricted anyway

Again, not relevant to 3com network cards, but some so called new items
advertised have been discontinued by so many years that their warranty
cannot possibly be valid anyway!
