[c-nsp] Unified IOS (15.x) and feature based licensing model

[joe mcguckin]

As far as I'm concerned, license-key  enforced feature sets are another reason to seriously look at other vendors.
One of the main reasons we settled on using Cisco products 15 years ago was that you could manage their products with
a laptop and a serial port. No GUI's, no client software required.

Suppose you're at a site and need to replace a defective router - and you have no internet access until it is replaced...

Also, you *do* realize that CLM is a MS Windows app.

There isn't a single windows machine in our company...
