As far as the hardware bill goes. Cisco still does allow you to use your own hardware it just needs to match the EXACT specs that thier hardware would be.<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><a href="http://tools.cisco.com/search/display?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cisco.com%2Fen%2FUS%2Fdocs%2Fvoice_ip_comm%2Fcucm%2Fcompat%2Fmcs-server-os-0711.xls&pos=1&strqueryid=&websessionid=LDTCdud83820mCbS67Ndnwd">http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/compat/mcs-server-os-0711.xls</a><br>

<br>
For a client, I am trying to sum up the End-of-Life and End-of-sale<br>
policies for CallManager 4.1.3 , 5.1 and 6.1.<br>
First of all, I read the End-of-life Policy:<br>
<a href="http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_end-of-life_policy.html" target="_blank">http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_end-of-life_policy.html</a>.<br>
Next, I read the End-of-Life and End-of-sales Notices:<br>
<a href="http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/prod_eol_notices_list.html" target="_blank">http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/prod_eol_notices_list.html</a>.<br>
<br>
But, there is something, that I don't really understand:<br>
<br>
If I want to buy one of the three version (4.1.3, 5.1, 6.1) next month:<br>
For, 4.1.3 and 4.2 : End of sale date: 15 May 2008; End of Software<br>
Maintenance 15 May 2009, Last date of support:15 May 2011.<br>
<br>
For, 5.1 and 6.1, I have to buy the latest "DL380-G5" with one of these<br>
Cisco Part Number "CM6.0-K9-380G5" or "CM5.1-K9-380G5".<br>
So, the end of life announcement has not yet released (if I am not<br>
wrong), can I claim that the end of support would not be before April<br>
2013 ? (at least five years of support ?)<br>
<br>
If you'are wondering about the 4.1.3 choice => It's only about reducing<br>
the bill (4.1.3 it's the last version not performing the hardware<br>
verification, so the client has not to buy hardware and keep the<br>
previous one)<br>
<br>
I really prefer the 5.1 or 6.1 choice. (what do you think ?)<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for any support.<br>
<br>
<br>
