In trying to verify licensing requirements I called Tech-Data and spoke to the Cisco licensing reps there (my company is set up as a reseller through Tech-Data) and was informed by them that a license for Cisco VoIP phones is only required if connecting it to a Call Manager or any other Cisco voice technology solution such as a Cisco router. If you are connecting a Cisco phone to any other pbx they consider it a "third party solution" and licensing requirements for that vendor are your responsibility.

If you buy one used, then you need to pay to re-license it as well. The 7940/7960 only work with Cisco PoE, not standard 802.3af, so you will need a switch that provides Cisco PoE for it to work.
