[cisco-voip] upgrade from 4.2 to 6.1 / license issues.

[Jonathan Charles]

Just one quick note...

You won't really get a PAK when you use the PUT to order an upgrade...
you get an Entitlement number and a Sales Order number.

Once you have your MAC address, you can then use that info to email
licensing at cisco.com to get any licensing issues straightened out...

Also, once you run DMA and build your new CCM6.1 box and import your
DMA data, you will get a temp license that you should send to Cisco to
get a real license.

You can do this online at www.cisco.com/go/license and click the
option for 'no pak code and upgrade licenses'... then fill in your mac
(show network eth0 details) and paste the temp license into the field.
When it fails (with an XML error), email licensing with your SO and
Entitlement number and the output of the temp license and they will
send you a license

Maybe not so quick of a note...
