[cisco-voip] 8.x upgrade question

[Ed Leatherman]

My take on the description/upgrade path was that the file would work (I
dont have to boot from it) but the upgrade kit was required to get the
license key for that version.

I think I'll I just order another kit from PUT to try to get a bootable
8.6.2 anyway, just in case.
