[cisco-voip] Upgrading CUCM 6.1(3) to 7.0(2)

[Ed Leatherman]

Hello,

was googling around for an answer and this thread looked sorta related
but i'm not sure.

I have a publisher loaded on Vmware server 2.0 (Lab setup) to test
upgrade from 6.1 to 7.1. Did a fresh 6.1 install and restored a recent
backup onto it from our production system, including licenses, no
problems. Upgraded to 7.1, no problems (all my test phones still
register, test CRS works, etc). However when I go to upload the 7.1
feature license I get this error:

"Installation on invalid / Obsolete hardware. License file upload not allowed."

Is this just due to being on VMWare? I had to monkey with the vm
config file to get MAC addresses to match for licenses, perhaps that
is what causes this?
