[cisco-voip] Upgrade from 8.6 to 9.1 Licensing

[Angel Roberto Castaneda]

We ran into the issue that Lelio mentions, where we converted DLUs into
Enhanced/Enhanced Plus, and now we realize that our license count was off
due to devices not being assigned to people.

Has anyone been successful at having Cisco revoke your current DLU/CUWL
counts, and then reissuing a new PAK with new counts?

For example, if one CUWL Pro license uses up 12 DLUs, and one CUWL Standard
is the equivalent of 8 DLUs, could I 'trade in' 6 CUWL Standard and get
back 4 CUWL Pro?

Cheers,
