[cisco-voip] UCM 8.x and Spares

[Ted Nugent]

You will be "forced" to pick a licensing model going forward with Cisco UC.
The AlaCarte (DLU) licensing is going away for good and you will need to
true up all your user/phone licenses to CUWL or UCL licensing. This will be
enforced when you attempted to renew your UCSS or perform a purchased
upgrade.
