Will customers have to pay for the 2.4x to 3.0 upgrade or will it be free like CallManager 3.0 to 3.1?

Upgrades to Cisco Unity 3.0 will be available for order on September 26. SASU customers can upgrade by visiting the Product Upgrade Tool and non-contract customers can order through standard ordering channels.

So does this mean customers will have to PAY for upgrades or will they be free if you have a support contract?

[kechambe]

Customers with a SASU contract will get it for free and customers without will need to purchase it.

With a SASU contract it should be availabe through the PUT process.

This is a major engine upgrade, not just a build upgrade.
