Hi mikeall,

Thanks for your update, if a customer has a previous be6k already deployed, can they upgrade it to unretricted version? and how to do the upgrade process?

Hi, Is there a similar document for changes in the BE6K bundle for version 10?

I found out some items are missing from the hardware bundle when compared to the old HW bundle. Some of the missing items are in licences PN... As Prime Collaboration.

Thank you.
