I don't believe these is a way to change the label without rebooting the phone. However, changing the label is probably not really the right way to go about this. For example, I have created an Asterisk system for a call centre that uses hot desking with Polycom phones, and those phones then use the built in web browser with an auto-refresh rate that contacts a website (internal) that runs a PHP script that returns the currently logged in person. This is done via a database and using Asterisk realtime for the registrations so the information is available to the PHP script. There is likely a similar web browser in the Cisco and the Aastra that can use this same type of approach.
