[cisco-voip] Switching Unity 5.0 from Unified to Voicemail only

[Erick Bergquist]

In 4.2 (or 4.1) they introduced a Voicemail-only user license you
could get for some users in a unified environment. It was a cheaper
license that had less features then a full unified user license.  This
would still require the mail account on the exchange side however...
just a cheaper unity license.

The following Unity 5.0 overview / Q&A mentions the mixed mode support
is in 5.0.

 I personally have not seen anyone use mixed license types yet.
