[cisco-voip] cisco licensing changes...

[Ed Leatherman]

What I seem to be gathering for all of this is that the only big change
really is with CUCM. Unity and UCCX should be the same really just a
different name for the license. That and any new licenses will be more
expensive now cause it includes the server license as well (that we've
already purchased in some cases).
