Cheers!

I wouldn’t say it’s a demo…

If you are buying the IP phone new you can purchase the new SIP part numbers and get those features up front. I’m not sure of the cost offset. If you’ve already purchased the UNIStim version of the 1140e then you can upgrade/switch to the SIP (standard) version at no additional charge. If you need the additional feature set then you would need to purchase the extended SIP license.

Cheers!

So, upgrading to version 3.x, I loose the possibility of running the phone behind a NAT or use a bluetooth earpieces without buying a license to Avaya?
It looks like a demo :(
