[cisco-voip] Upgrading CUBE Gen 1 Routers to 15.X

Mon Apr 4 22:28:56 EDT 2011

Thanks Nick for the reply,

Deployed a couple 3945s with 15.1(3)T a couple weeks ago. The licensing behavior for enabling UC is the same and that is the one feature I need for sure for CUBE operations. Plus this is an ISR Gen 1.

Fear not, just go to 15.1(2)T or later.

>From the 15.1(2) New and Changed release notes:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/15_1/release/notes/151-2TNEWF.html

Right to Use license is added for ISR G2 platforms. 
Old Behavior: The Right to Use license is not available for technology packages and all features on Cisco ISR G2 platforms. 
New Behavior: The Right to Use license is available for technology packages and all features on Cisco ISR G2 platforms, except for the HSEC feature. Use the license accept end user agreement command in global configuration mode to configure a one-time acceptance of the Cisco End User License Agreement (EULA) for all Cisco IOS software packages and features. 
Additional Information: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/access/sw_activation/SA_on_ISR.html 
This is the same IOS that added the toll fraud behavior, so if you have a SIP gateway or CUBE mind th details here:

Thats the issue I have. Under 12.4(24)T#, no licensing was shipped in flash as it wasn't required. When I upgrade, I show IPBase perminent all all others deactivated. I contacted TAC with the PO numbers and asked for PAKs or license files and you would think I asked for their first born child. I am already at email 10 trying to explain to this guy that “S384AVSK9” was purchased as the IOS feature set and this should carry over regardless if I am 12.4.x or 15.0.x.  I have sent the TAC rep ordering guides for both ISR families which I thought were pretty clear on how this stuff is purchased. Has anyone seen a doc on the proper approach to migrating from one to the other and what path to take with the licenasing team. Obviously I am not articulating it correctly or producing the correct information he needs.

Licensing on ISR G1 routers is still honor system even after 15.x upgrade 

I’m not aware of any exceptions to that?

Anyone else expiring the Cisco licensing nightmare when upgrading the ISR generation 1 bundle routers to 15.x code. Seems Cisco doesn't honor the features purchased under the gen 1 bundles by providing licensing to move to new code regardless if you have smartnet and purchased the features under the bundle and IOS flavor. This sucks when paying for SmartNet on 100's of routers each year and when TAC is telling me my bug is fixed, just upgrade to 15.x for the SIP SPI resolution. Anyone know if there is a document that covers this issue that I can reference with TAC? 

Purchased two 3845-CUBE-VSEC/K9 Bundles a couple years back now hitting SIP defects. Wes is this the norm?

Thanks All,
-Pete
