[cisco-voip] Software Feature License: Upgrade 6.1(2) to 6.1(4)

[Ryan Ratliff]

The software feature license has to be installed for any version of  
6.x, but it is good for any version of 6.x (6.0 through 6.anything).

That paragraph is correcting the Admin Guide (they won't update those  
except in a new version, the release notes is where corrections will  
go) because it says (incorrectly) that only upgrades from 5 or 6  
require the software feature license.  In fact upgrades from 4.x  
require it as well.   If you had a software feature license on 6.1(2)  
it won't go away when you upgrade to 6.1(3).

Additionally, if you have concerns or recommendations about any  
document on cisco.com with the feedback box on the left side of the  
page please use that form.  The people that maintain those docs do  
receive and respond to that feedback.

While reviewing the release notes for 6.1(4a), I found the following  
under Documentation Changes:

Software Feature License

When you upgrade from any supported release of Cisco Unified  
Communications Manager to Release 6.1(3x), you must download and  
install a software feature license to activate the new features. The  
Cisco Unified Communication Administration Guide indicates that you  
must install a software feature license only if you are upgrading from  
5.x or 6.x releases. You also need a license if you are upgrading from  
supported 4.x releases. For instructions about how to obtain and  
install a software feature license, see the "License File Upload"  
chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration  
Guide.

The 6.1(1) CUCM admin guide says:

Note You do not need to obtain new licenses if you are upgrading  
within a software release train, such as Cisco Unified Communications  
Manager 6.0(1) to 6.1(1).


I am confused.  My license report says that I have a valid 6.1  
software license installed.

Does the above mean that I have to add an additional feature license  
to go from 6.1(2)SU1 to 6.1(4a)?  If so, it isn't clear how I do this,  
since the CUCM Admin Guide covers version 6.1(1).  I don't have a new  
PAK as I'm using the UCSInstall file rather than media obtained  
through the PUT tool.

Thanks for helping me clear this up.
