<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Why is there such a variation in price between what
the two of you have paid to get the SIP image for a 7960 phone ? $8 would
be acceptable, but I don't want to have to pay $105 !</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What website do I have to go to in order to buy a
SIP image update ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How long does the login last for - I mean can you
download it a couple of times, or is it a case of once you've downloaded it,
that it. I read that you sometimes need to step though the images,
starting at v2, then v3, then v4 etc. If thats the case, surly I'll need
to download a few images !</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Every Cisco software embedded with their hardware is valid only for the
first owner. When someone sells the equipment, the software license is not
transfered. The new buyer must buy a new license.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I bought a Cisco 7960G over eBay also, and I bought their SIP software
later. I paid US$ 105. The original was a SCCP.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Check also the list history. You will find several messages regarding this
same issue (cisco hardware X software X upgrade). You can find the archives
here: <A

<DIV><BR>You can get an upgrade contract with Cisco for like $8 or something to
download the SIP firmware for your phone.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So no, no waste of money -- unless you bought the wrong phone.</DIV>

<DIV><BR>I have bough a cisco phone on eBay to use with Asterisk, but according
to that website, you need a contract with Cisco systems to upgrade the phone to
work with SIP.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am guessing the phone that I get won't come with that as it was used with
the cisco call manager software in the past. Can I still use this phone
