[cisco-voip] Retrieve installed license for shipped CUC 6.x

[Jonathan Charles]

If you run the DMA tool it will create a tar file.

This tar file will be uploaded to the CCM 6 box DURING the install of
CCM 6 on the publisher.

If the publisher has already been installed, you cannot migrate data
back into CCM...

So, you need to start over.

Now, the license that is provided during this process will include all
nodes and DLUs you have (so, add more before you run the DMA tool).

Now, after the install, you will have an upgrade license file, you
then go to www.cisco.com/go/license and then you can get a permanent
license... In theory, my last one failed and I had to call TAC and
they issued me a temporary license (claiming that CCM 6 was on NPH and
they could not issue permanent licenses (not true and if you escalate
and whine enough, you can get a permanent license).
