entire upgrade to get this result. Again, there are a lot of us out<br>
there that want to perform a more controlled migration to 6.x than just<br>
upgrading the entire box in one fell swoop.<br>
<br>
In our case we have an extra 7835 server in the lab so if I can't get<br>
licensing through using the SO I can pop a drive out of our production<br>
Publisher and perform the upgrade, get the new license without effecting<br>
actually upgrading our production environment. However, everyone can't<br>
necessarily do this.<br>
<br>
There still needs to be an easier way. Would just running a utility on<br>
a 4.x server that generates a 6.x license (for Cisco) without upgrading<br>
really make a huge difference? I understand that they are trying to<br>
prevent people from "cheating the proverbial licensing system", but<br>
there are so many workarounds already that it really doesn't matter in<br>
the grand scheme of things in my humble opinion.<br>

Then, here's what you do to make life easy<br>
<br>
Use the DMA tool and upgrade CCM to 6<br>
<br>
Then, get the license.<br>
<br>
Then blow the CCM6 box away and build it from scratch<br>
<br>
use the license you just got.<br>
