2016 is last day of tac support for the 2800’s. Technically any code upgrade
requires proper support. Ironically, the 1800/2800/3800 series lacked the
ability to lock the ios by feature set other than say gatekeeper. When the G2’s
came out we got feature locking. Then by around 15.2 we went back to right to
use licenses because it was such a pain to administrator for all parties
involved. Customers are still required legally to purchase the licenses.
In your scnerio.. they need to have purchased the voice feature set. Then the
devices need to be under support to be entitled to any version of IOS. That is
my take on this scenario.

Subject: [cisco-voip] License requirements to upgrade from 12.4 to 15
I have a customer with 18 2800 voice gateways in production and 5 cold spares.
Are they required to purchase a license in order to upgrade from 12.4 to 15 for
the base and/or voice features?
For the cold spares would they need to have those under SmartNET in order to
swap them out with a failed router or can they be upgraded and license
transferred in the event of a failure?
