[asterisk-users] Cisco 7940G licensing with asterisk

[Glenn Cobb]

In trying to verify licensing requirements I called Tech-Data and spoke to
the Cisco licensing reps there (my company is set up as a reseller through
Tech-Data) and was informed by them that a license for Cisco VoIP phones is
only required if connecting it to a Call Manager or any other Cisco voice
technology solution such as a Cisco router. If you are connecting a Cisco
phone to any other pbx they consider it a "third party solution" and
licensing requirements for that vendor are your responsibility.

Yes, you need to buy a license if you use it with ANY pbx, whether it is
Callmangler or Asterisk or whatever.  If you buy one used, then you need to
pay to re-license it as well.

The 7940/7960 only work with Cisco PoE, not standard 802.3af, so you will
need a switch that provides Cisco PoE for it to work.
