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

[Jonathan Charles]

Actually, I have done it without a SO, just a UG...

Just tell them that the old hardware was in imminent failure and there
was no capability to run DMA and you are building the new box from
scratch, then give them a phone count and they will issue you a
license, the UG is essentially a windfall in free licensing...
