style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>I've got a question regarding Cisco IP
Phones and licencing. <br>
<br>
When using a third party PBX like asterisk is a licence required for the Cisco
phones ? Has anyone got anything in writing from Cisco to clarify this ?<br>
<br>
Eg can I just use CP-7961G or do I need CP-7961G-CH1 even though I'm not using
Cisco Callmanager ? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
