[cisco-voip] FYI: UCCx v9.0 EOL announced...

[Justin Steinberg]

I opened up a TAC case to get early access to the COP file and found that
the COP file makes modifications to CAD, which requires a CAD upgrade on
all the clients.   That's really disappointing because the entire goal here
is to move off of CAD.  Having to get all the desktop teams (4 desktop
teams in this environment) to upgrade CAD another time, just to
decommission CAD is really alot of wasted time and frustration.

TAC is checking with BU to see if there is anyway to avoid the CAD upgrade.
