[cisco-voip] 4.2 to 8 upgrade and what licensing have to say

[Ahmed Elnagar]

Hi Leslie;

 

Sure you will need to install 7.x using the DMA file you have and then
upgrade to 8.x...that is what the compatibility matrix says.

 

Also what about 7.x license...will Cisco give a license for the temp
step of restoring the DMA to 7.x and then upgrade...you must have a
license in order for CUCM service to be up and running and be able to
upgrade normally to 8.x

 

Please keep us updated with your work with Cisco in that case.

 

Best Regards,

I'm not sure licensing is up to speed on the upgrade paths. I would
trust the compatibility matrix.

As for the DMA, yes, they do that. You don't send them the entire DMA
file though, there is a license file that is produced. That's what you
send them, along with the MAC address and the PAK of the software.

4.2 to 8 upgrade and what licensing have to say

I am am speaking to licensing about the requirements and I am told the
following

-If you are upgrading from version 4 to version 8, there is no need to
pass through version 7. You can have it upgraded directly to 8; just
have an upgrade license and the DMA file.
-I will need you to send me the DMA file of your Call Manager version 4
to get them converted to version 8.

Hmmm everyone i have asked and on here say no you need to go to 7 and
then on to 8...
And since when does cisco do the DMA conversion ?

Am I missing something here ?
