[cisco-voip] Upgrading CUCM 6.1(3) to 7.0(2)

[Ed Leatherman]

It's running on my production licenses. I managed to get vmware to
clone my MAC address from the production publisher server. Or does it
automagically use a demo license regardless since it sees it's running
on VMWare?

Is the lab SKU available for customers? Don't remember seeing it on
any price sheets i've been given (not that I go over them with a fine
tooth comb). I knew there was a lab kit out there but thought it was
for partners only.
