[cisco-voip] UCS Licensing

[Ed Leatherman]

Just curious, are you waiting on licenses for Unified Computing System
(UCS)? Or Unified Communications?

If UCS, what is the licensing for? My understanding was the licenses
were built into the fabric interconnects unless you need to license
more ports.

I'm surprised you are having so much trouble.. with the UC licenses in
the past we've been able to open a ticket with licensing and just give
them the cisco order number to get the license keys in an emergency..
once the order was processed.
