<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In my interpretation of the oft confusing Cisco
licensing structure for phones, the license was originally created to function
much like a COA with a piece of Microsoft software. When adding a client
phone to a CallManager or CallManager Express network, the user is required to
have a license for the client phone. Cisco phones are sold pre-bundled
with a license in their "CH1" form. If there is a "CH1" or "CCME" attached
to the part number, it is a licensed bundle. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Cisco also offers "spare" versions of their phones,
which do not have the "CH1" or "CCME" annotation to the part number. These
are unlicensed phones.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Cisco phones do not currently ship with SIP
firmware loaded. In order to register your phone with Cisco and obtain a
login for their TAC and access firmware downloads, you must have a licensed
phone. "Spare" versions do not allow you registration with Cisco for
access to firmware.</FONT></DIV>
