[cisco-voip] IOS 15.0

Thu Jul 22 11:47:00 EDT 2010

IMO it would be a matter of separating software support from hardware support for the phones.  Maybe that software support is bundled with the CUCM software, maybe it isn't.   If they decide you need to have some type of coverage in order to download phone firmware then just because we may give you some free updates doesn't automatically entitle you to all the other ones. 

I have to stress that this is purely my opinion and (thank goodness) I have no input, nor really any knowledge of how and why UC is licensed the way it is.   I'd say bug the PMs and your service contract rep about it if you feel it overly burdensome or just downright dumb.

I see that happening when I download new phone firmware, as we don't smartnet phones.  But really?  How does Cisco think that's going to work?  new firmware comes with each CM update.  What are others going to do?  just update CM more often?  or smartnet a single phone?

Financially it just doesn't make sense to smartnet many phones when in all reality you get the firmware with the CM updates.

Correct, I was pointing out that you can’t change versions such as adding CUBE or IPIPGW just because you can download it. You never could do this but people did it all the time.

I don’t know if you have noticed or not but you will soon not be able to download software that you don’t have a contract for.

If you have a smart net or shared support activated through a Cisco partner you are eligible to have the latest IOS upgrade…technically starting from 15 Cisco started to enforce the license “like the difference between CUCM 4.x and 5.x”

“you cannot just install any version just if you have the correct DRAM and Flash”

You couldn’t do that before, You still had to purchase the correct version it just did not enforce the rules.

Working fine “till now” watch out for the license as you cannot just install any version just if you have the correct DRAM and Flash “I don’t know what will it be for upgrades”…for 15.1 I was trying to run SRST 8.0 but I failed and till now I don’t know the reason…I had to go to 15.0 to run SRST 7.1.

I have 15.0 as SIP gateway woth PRIs and H323 with PRIs and FXs.

Just don’t do it unless you have to.
