IMI, You can not simply discourage them from renouncing their violent activities (I know you don't believe or you act like you don't believe them doing so in the future). i would love to see some royalist mind coming up with just a single idea that is going to work to stop further bloodshed (of ordinary people, and brothers and sisters in army and police forces, even if you don't like to see stopping of SPA activists and moaists dying). Otherwise, you are left with no option other than "licking the maoists boots as SPA is doing now" (in your words). As far as the continuation of violent activities while in cease fire and on table of dialogues, I believe that they will completely refrain of doing such activities if we continue encouraging them. Just think that lower ranked Maoist activists can not tolerate few activities going against them and they also extort though those activities are controlled in a greater extent after ceasefire since they were used to do whatever they liked to do before. They are still equiped with weapons, you know the "Shakti ko Unmad"? But, I believe that they will also get used to in new environment as time passes, it may take some months though.
