[cisco-voip] UCCX Licensing

[Matthew Loraditch]

That's correct. I have an MCS Server on 8.0 and it uses the License MAC

With UCCX I believe the licensing mac is used regardless of whether the install is on a vm or not.

Frank,

I'm gathering that if the MAC changed UCCX is installed on VMware - if so the MAC address is a hash of the following parameters & if any one of them is changed it will change the MAC and you will need to get your license reissued

Time zone
NTP server 1
NIC speed (or "auto")
Hostname
IP Address
IP Mask
Gateway Address
Primary DNS
SMTP server (or "none")
Certificate Information

Russell

Just when I thought my 2 months of fighting with licensing were over...

We've been running UCCX 8.0 for some time now with permanent licenses, but this morning when we logged in we were receiving a license warning message:
<image001.png>

The license MAC address contained in our license files (9accb978xxxx) and this WAS the license mac address of the UCCX primary server, but that appears to have changed.  I wouldn't think that was possible but this cisco wiki appears to state that it is: http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Warning:_System_running_on_grace_period_message_on_admin_login

I logged in to the CLI of both CCX servers, and the original MAC seems to have changed.
CCX Primary License MAC: 883f1357xxxx (from CLI 'show status')
CCX Secondary License MAC: 3cf75f1exxxx (from CLI 'show status')

I've contacted product support about this already but I was wondering if anyone else experienced this before.  Why did the license change?  How many more times can we expect the mac address to change and potentially cripple our deployment?
