[asterisk-users] Do I need a CH1 licence for Cisco Phones ?

[Bruce Reeves]

I posed the same question to both our Cisco partner and direct to our Cisco
rep. Neither one could tell me what I would not be able to do with a
non-licenses IP phone. As you probably know the phone will work with out a
license, but that may not be acceptable in Cisco's eyes.

In the end we went with a different vendor anyways.
