I do not believe that the web page referenced below states that you need a license to use Cisco phones with any pbx other than Call Manager. It only states that you are required to have a license regardless of the protocol used and their documentation is specifically aimed at Call Manager implementations. Any one else have another view and or supporting document on this?

However there are only certain ones that do support the standard. If you are looking for the cheapest used ones, then a 3524-PWR will work. If you want new, then a 3560 "ps" version will work.
