[cisco-voip] Unity/Unity Connection Port Upgrade

[Erick Wellnitz]

I've been going round and round about licensing with Cisco for a couple
months.  Here is what I have learned:

1. As of right now, except for version 7, there is no de-facto 'ala carte'
licensing.  It is now UCL.
2. UCL user licenses come with the appropriate system licenses at no
additional cost.  CM node licenses, CUC port licenses, etc. are all
included in the purchase of UCL licenses for the coresponding system.
3. There is no migration cost from ala carte to UCL as there is with CUWL.
4. The simplification of Cisco's licensing has, in fact, made it more
confusing when migrating and upgrading.
