[cisco-voip] CallManager v8 data sheet out

[Jason Aarons (US)]

Sorry I just puked....licensing is not exciting.....I can think of other
things I'd rather do than be on the phone with Global Licensing when
things aren't working... 

 

This is a large reason not to buy from distribution in my view...but
customer's need to put larger lead times into projects to avoid
distribution.

John,

The gripe about 15.x code being licensed is completely unfounded.

I am a consultant so end up dealing with it first hand every day.  Yes
it sucks that we now need to go through the process of license
activation.  However the only reason that is the case is because of
people not following the rules to begin with.

Also as long as the box is ordered correctly to begin with the license
is already activated from the factory.

The only people they hurt when they moved to this model were people who
simply stole the code to begin with.  The only exception is when a
device goes RMA you must work with TAC to get the license rehomed.
However you are already working with them to get a replacement device so
they take care of it right away anyway.

Craig

I wouldn't count on it.  Cisco is getting worse than Microsoft about
licensing.  Have you tried to run 15.x code?

Hopefully we can still perform the demo install with VMWare.  It's
useful for staging and recreating certain configurations.
