[cisco-voip] Callmanager upgrade 4.1 >>> 5.1

[Jonathan Charles]

This is NOT true.

I just did an upgrade (3.3 to 5.1)... and we built a new server with CCM3.3,
restored the backup (in a lab, no phones present), upgraded to 4.1, ran DMA
and upgraded to 5.1 and restored the DMA data.

The license was for all of the phones configured (zero phones were
registered at the time DMA was run), and the customer had a full upgrade
license for all configured phones.
