It's been over a month now of<br>dealing with various levels of support within various disparate<br>divisions of Cisco, and we are no closer to where we began. Eventually<br>we get to the point that we receive yet another shipments of boxes and<br>boxes within other boxes and boxes that contain the promised magical<br>pieces of paper known more affectionately as 'PAKs'. A piece of paper<br>that quite easily could have sent electronically saving dozens of trees<br>used to make the cardboard that cradled the paper on its journey across<br>North America. A piece of paper that promises to make all things right<br>in the world, generating a license files that will not only enable us to<br>finally resume our migration efforts which have been put on hold by the<br>very vendor we selected for our VoIP solution, but will end an era of<br>grief and frustration which we seemingly brought upon ourselves in<br>paying thousands of dollars to that vendor. A piece of paper that when<br>activated produces an even more magical license file. That license<br>file, when uploaded to our license-starved servers, does nothing more<br>than crush the hopes and dreams of an entire migration team. <br></rant><br><br>That aside, happy Friday everyone.<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>cisco-voip mailing list<br>cisco-voip@puck.nether.net<br>https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-voip<br></div></body></html>
