[cisco-voip] performing multiple DMA imports

[Ryan Ratliff]

For starters the latest DMAs will actually generate the licenses for  
you, bypassing the "paste this part of an xml file into the website"  
game (I think).

Second a DMA file isn't going to expire, self-destruct, or any such  
thing.  It is simply a snapshot of your system at the time of the DMA  
so doing an export/install in the lab prior to full deployment is a  
smart thing to do.  Once you know the hiccups, estimate the install  
time, etc you can do the "real" DMA once you have frozen config  
changes prior to cutover.

I'm just wondering, I'd like to get some testing underway on the new  
v7.1, using a DMA export.

How long of a grace period do I have with a DMA import? i.e. how long  
does it wait until it stops working?

I don't want to send DMA data to Cisco because it will be using the  
license count that I have at my testing date, not my actual cutover  
date.

Essentially, what I want to do is get a DMA export, do some testing,  
then do a DMA export again and then product my system.

Thoughts?
