[cisco-voip] Cisco Expressway 14.2 and Smart Licensing

I've done it on 14.0.x.  Every node in an expressway cluster needs to be
configured individually.
Make sure you see any required licenses in the smart portal first
(especially Rich Media for B2B calls)
The process won't "automatically" migrate PAKs to Smart.
If you need to roll back to PAK based (assuming you're prior to 14.2) you
need to factory reset the Expressway.
I'm staying away from 14.2 at the moment.  there was a 14.1 beta, it never
shipped.
The release notes for 14.2 indicate some major changes with session limits
and TLS.
Given Cisco's recent track record with software quality, i'm going to let
that one sit for awhile.
