[cisco-voip] performing multiple DMA imports

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Thanks Ryan. I thought I had to send something back to Cisco in order to get a license file created. That's why I asked about the expiry, i.e. if I install using a DMA export file, how long do I have to contact Cisco and get the permanent license file. 

Do I still have to contact licensing with the MAC address of my machine and the PAK number for the publisher? Or is that all done with the DMA?

For starters the latest DMAs will actually generate the licenses for you, bypassing the "paste this part of an xml file into the website" game (I think). 


Second a DMA file isn't going to expire, self-destruct, or any such thing. It is simply a snapshot of your system at the time of the DMA so doing an export/install in the lab prior to full deployment is a smart thing to do. Once you know the hiccups, estimate the install time, etc you can do the "real" DMA once you have frozen config changes prior to cutover.

I'm just wondering, I'd like to get some testing underway on the new v7.1, using a DMA export. 

How long of a grace period do I have with a DMA import? i.e. how long does it wait until it stops working? 

I don't want to send DMA data to Cisco because it will be using the license count that I have at my testing date, not my actual cutover date. 

Essentially, what I want to do is get a DMA export, do some testing, then do a DMA export again and then product my system. 

Thoughts?
