<div dir="ltr"><div>CH1 was just a nice little bundle they made to simplify ordering.</div>
<div>It included the phone, and licence.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you ordered and you have received a paper license then all should be well.</div>
<div>You probably ordered a CP-79XX something and a SW-CCM-UL something.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>All of this is out the window if you are purchasing from a non reputable partner / distributor - that may have just photocopied the certificate :)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hence why Cisco introduced licensing in v5.x and up as Scott said. Before that - it is all paper :) if you have an actual Cisco SO number, then you used to be able to find out your licensing that way, or go through the your partner / distributor to find out.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you are considering upgrading with DMA you can carry licensing across, without having to chase the paper.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
