[cisco-voip] Cius Feedback?

[Ki Wi]

I also have the same problem downloading the cius software and I working for a Cisco partner. We purchased some of them just for demo. Now with new policy enforced ( no valid service contact = no download of software) , I wondering what is missing in the purchase =[
