[cisco-voip] CCM6 upgrade from 5...

[Jonathan Charles]

OK, so there is no leeway, no temp license to keep them up and running
for 7 days or so to get a feature license?

I think there should be a giant warning here, if someone were to
upgrade to 6 without knowing this, the net affect would be to take out
their Call Managers.

Just so everyone else is aware, after the upgrade of the pub, the CCM
service is taken out (will not start), until they get a new feature
license for 6. If they have a pub and sub, the pub will work fine, and
not scream any particular warning. When they do the sub and it
reboots, all of their phones are going down, and staying down until
the feature license is applied to the Pub.

The funny thing is that the phones got new code when they tried to
come up (which would be expected after an upgrade...), so, you would
have to reboot off of the old partition to get your system back up
until you got the license.

This is scary.
