[cisco-voip] upgrade from 4.2 to 6.1 / license issues.

Fri Apr 4 13:44:24 EDT 2008

You'll have to actually do the install and load the DMA export during  
install to get the license file to upload.  The license file is tied  
to the mac address of the server so I believe you could then  
reinstall CUCM from scratch using the same server as the publisher  
and the license file would be valid.

Hi,

I have one question more, if I perform the DMA process then I get the  
XML  file, then request the permanent license from Cisco webpage.   
How I need start my configuration from zero. So can I re-formatted  
the HDD and reinstall CCM 6, and finally load the permanent license  
got previouly? is it possible?  my licenses will work?

Thanks for your help...!

I agree with this.  I've had no problems with the DMA process on two  
4 to 6 upgrades I've done.  The email with the permanent license  
arrives within minutes.

However, I can't say the same for my dbreplication.  During both  
upgrades, I changed the hostname and IP of the server and after the  
upgrade/install to 6.1 the replication is broken due to stale records  
in the sqlhosts file. I have a TAC case open now for them to root in  
a fix it.

In theory if you manage to paste in the right bits of XML the tool
will generate your license and email it to you with no live person
involved at all.  I've done it once so I know it's possible.  User
experience varies greatly however.

Just one quick note...

You won't really get a PAK when you use the PUT to order an upgrade...
you get an Entitlement number and a Sales Order number.

Once you have your MAC address, you can then use that info to email
licensing at cisco.com to get any licensing issues straightened out...

Also, once you run DMA and build your new CCM6.1 box and import your
DMA data, you will get a temp license that you should send to Cisco to
get a real license.

You can do this online at www.cisco.com/go/license and click the
option for 'no pak code and upgrade licenses'... then fill in your mac
(show network eth0 details) and paste the temp license into the field.
When it fails (with an XML error), email licensing with your SO and
Entitlement number and the output of the temp license and they will
send you a license

Maybe not so quick of a note...
