Yes. We were aware that there is no DMA from 4.x to 8.x. Our servers came
preinstalled with 8.0.2. We had to overwrite that with 7.1.3 and do the DMA
import into it, and them upgrade it to 8.0.3.
I wish Cisco would change their licensing about once a year and each time
they change it, it would become more difficult to understand. wait, what? My
wish has come true?
Cisco ended up sending us the "units" from the DMA XML file and we were able
to cut to the new system. However, we still feel like we do not have all of
the units entitled to us. It also appears that we don't have everything that
was on the SO.
Thanks,

Watch out that there is no DMA for 8.0 upgrade as there is no direct path to
8.x from 4.x you have to upgrade to 7.x first.

Upgrades require you use DMA and bring over your existing licenses and
register the upgrade license to activate your node, even with CUWL upgrades
you have to bring over you existing licensing via DMA. There was a very
short period of time where they would just give you what you purchased
however that ship sailed about a year ago.

I'm in the process of upgrading a client from 4.1.3 to 8.0.3. We have/had
approx. 60 users/phones on the old 4.1.3 system and we overpurchased 140
"users" for UCM8. I uploaded my license and it only shows 140 "units"
authorized. The UCM8 license unit report shows I have 250 "units" used - and
based on the license unit calculator it is still calculating "units" based
on 4 units for a 7940, etc. So I'm 110 "units" short. I'm on hold with TAC
licensing arguing that it doesn't make sense that 1 user = 1 dlu.
Is there not some calculation of each user license = 4 DLUs or each user = 6
DLUs? This doesn't make sense.
