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

Fri Apr 4 13:43:20 EDT 2008

Hi,

I have one question more, if I perform the DMA process then I get the XML
file, then request the permanent license from Cisco webpage.  How I need
start my configuration from zero. So can I re-formatted the HDD and
reinstall CCM 6, and finally load the permanent license got previouly? is it
possible?  my licenses will work?

Thanks for your help...!
