[cisco-voip] Cisco Spares for Phones

[David Zhars]

That's what I thought and it made perfect sense in 4.x CM.  There, phones
had to be purchased with a license "built in", I guess.  But again, with
DLUs, if I bought a "spare",then I would lose some DLUs.  is that it?  It
kind of makes sense, if you have spare DLUs, you can get a "spare", if
you're short on DLUs, buy a "licensed" version....

I will wait for others to weigh in.  I'd like to think CDW knows how to
quote this stuff, but a few times they've sold me stuff that was done up
wrong!
