I have a somewhat similar licensing question:

A client has a single Sun Ultra 1 running CP 3.0 SP9 on Solaris 
2.5.1, they have a 50stdlightmotif license, but they already have 
their 4.0 key and software.   We're hoping to go with 2 Nokias, but 
either:
	a.)  2 Nokias, one a cold backup, same or a 2nd 50 license
	b.)  1 Nokia, beef up the old Sun for a cold backup, new 50 
license for the Nokia
	c.)   2 Nokias with VRRP

CP 4.1 SP2 on any of these solutions (SP3 if we can't get the Sun out 
of the loop), looking at the IP440 for the Nokias.

Obviously, we want them to go with the latter (basically, the diagram 
at http://www.nokia.com/securitysolutions/network/availability.html), 
but we're having a lot of difficulty getting a straight answer on 
what the licensing and upgrade situation needed for that scenario is. 
3 answers from 3 different companies' salesman.   Anyone know?
