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.
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.
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.
