[cisco-voip] 6.1.3 Upgrade - new licence?

[Wes Sisk]

you may need to obtain a license.  this goes back to CSCso33442.  you 
could be up and working fine on your current version.  unknowingly you 
may be running on a demo license.  CUCM upgrade removes demo licenses.  
you upgrade and suddenly CM will start, but immediately stop due to 
missing license.  you revert back to previous version expecting 
stability.  license files are shared between active and inactive 
versions.  when you ran the upgrade it removed demo licenses for both 
versions.  when you revert to previous version you discover CM will 
start but immediately top due to missing license.  at this point your 
system is dead in the water until you can obtain license file.

this is why 6.1.3 now directly states when you are running on a demo 
license.

You can view CSCso33442 in bug toolkit to identify if you have license 
files that are demo files
