There, phones had to be purchased with a license "built in", I guess. But again, with DLUs, if I bought a "spare",then I would lose some DLUs. is that it? It kind of makes sense, if you have spare DLUs, you can get a "spare", if you're short on DLUs, buy a "licensed" version....<br>
<br>I will wait for others to weigh in. I'd like to think CDW knows how to quote this stuff, but a few times they've sold me stuff that was done up wrong!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 6:47 PM, Lelio Fulgenzi <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lelio@uoguelph.ca"><a href="mailto:lelio@uoguelph.ca">lelio@uoguelph.ca</a></a>></span> wrote:<br>

The one without the equal sign must be purchased with a license. It's a software check that Cisco has. There is no difference in the products. I'm guessing they've moved from using the equal sign to the spare keyword.<br>

If this is a brand new extension being added, does it have to be a G? I never understood the whole "spare" thing, maybe someone can help me to figure it out!<br>
