OK, curiosity question:
The various SM-SRE modules, when installed with Cisco Unity Express, are supposed to have a default number of ports available. For example, the ISM-SRE-300-K9 module is supposed to have two ports on it by default when installed with Cisco Unity Express.
When we order these modules from Cisco, they come pre-installed with CUE and the correct number of ports (default + purchased ports). However, when we order from distribution, i.e. Tech Data, Ingram et. al., the modules come in blank whereupon we have to install CUE (no concerns here, it's easy-peasy), and then go through the hassle of contacting licensing to activate the two default ports. Every time I call in to do this I have a different experience.
Does anyone know of a better, quicker, simpler way to activate these default ports? No offense to licensing, but I could save a lot of time and brain cells if there was a way for me to activate them on my own.
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Kevin
