I was just told by my BP that the IP Office 406 will be "manufactured" discontinued in a couple of months. Has anyone else heard about this?
 
Yes the SOE and the 406v2 will stop in may
The ip500 is the replacement for these two

Could you tell me more? Has anyone else heard this? Is there an official statement from Avaya or is this information from a BP?

The 500 requires buying an extra license to do all the kewl stuff vs both the older 406,and SOE.

The SOE also had built in resources which are an additional cost on the 500.

So, you make the call why they are going away. I always suspected the SOE was soon to go, but it does make the SOE niche market kind of less open to the IPO.

I am just hoping the new releases keep being available for the 400 series without having to scrap the processors, or pay big $ for PRO licensing.

 
But the ip500 can do also what a SOE can but you can expand when a business grows
A SOE needs to be replaced
I think it is a logic step
The ip500 will have features that can not be done on the 400 series
This will be soon already

Do you find many people with an SOE and Voicemail Pro? If not then why would you need the Professional upgrade? Internal to the IP500 you can expand beyond the capacity for the SOE and use embedded VM or centralized all without a Pro license.

I do agree that the base price should come down a little. As it stands you are at about $2500 NPL for an IP500 with a Digital 8, Phone 2 and Pro and $1813 for a 406v2 with the same options. Getting the IP500 down to $2K would help.

Is it possible to "upgrade" the licenses for a 406v2 to a 500 system? Could I trade-up my 4 and 8 port VMPRO licenses and my 20 seat phone manager pro license to a new 500 system? Are there any additional licenses required to have a similarly configured IP 500?

Can I use the T1 card from our 406 in the 500?
 
should be able to swap licenses from dongle to smart card, we did, but you have to do all licenses to the same card.

legacy card carrier should let you keep the line card but takes up a whole slot to itself

will need an upgrade to pro license for the 500 too.

 
SOE and 406v2 are officially going in phase out since may.

Software correction (Maintenance Releases) seems will be supported up to 5.0.
