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

[Jason Burns]

Roy,

If you choose not to use DMA you'll need to talk to licensing / customer 
service (licensing at cisco.com) to get the licenses for the products you 
already own.

This means you'll need to come up with sales / purchase orders for your 
phones and CallManagers showing you're entitled to CallManager 6 
licenses and a certain number of device license units.

When using DMA all of this is done for you in the XML file you get after 
completing the 6.X DMA install. You just need to combine this XML file 
with the 6X PAK on the Cisco site.

Thanks,
Jason Burns
