[cisco-voip] Evaluating CCM 5.0

If you purchased the SASU for your CallManager software, you can use the
PUT tool on CCO to order an upgrade kit.  Otherwise, you need to contact
your local Cisco SE or AM to see what they can do for you.

Subject: [cisco-voip] Evaluating CCM 5.0

Hi,

I got hold of a supported hardware platform (IBM x346) for some days and
thought it would be a good idea to evaluate CCM 5.0 on that box.
The problems started when the installation DVD claimed that the plat-
form would be unsupported. I had to find out why that is (it actually
has a list of all IBM platform IDs and freaks out when your hardware is
a bit newer, like my 8840-3SX, despite the fact it matches every
requirement perfectly) and how to fix it (modifying HWTABLE.data and
rebuilding the DVD on a RW). Then I had to work around an unwanted
downgrade the former installation of 4.1(3) did to the machine's BIOS,
which resulted in the CPU (3400MHz) being misdetected as a 2800MHz.
Finally the DVD installed and I found out the hard way that 5.0 intro-
duces a new, enforced licensing model. No way to test the box without a
license, and no evaluation mode or evaluation license to be found on CCO
(anywhere I looked).

So is there any way of doing an evaluation of CCM 5 with some phones and
maybe a gateway? Or do I best forget about it? There are demo licenses
for other products to be found on CCO, so why not CCM 5?

TIA,
Andre.
