Title: Mitel firmware downloads
Post by: gr8whtd0pe on January 09, 2013, 11:24:27 PM: Is there anywhere we can download updates for our 5000 without being a Mitel tech? Ours basically refuses to update our system.

Software should not be posted in public forums, the possible ramification to end users not knowing the proper procedure and licensing issues is too extreme.

You cannot change outside of the same minor revision, meaning the first and second positions cannot change. If you are running 3.2.0.14 you must stay with a 3.2.X.X load or you will need a new license, and thus Software Assurance.

You will end up with a lot of users updating their systems and finding they have an unlicensed 5000!

Yeah that works for me. Probably not the best place I could have asked this.
