[cisco-voip] "Demo" system upgrade from 8.5 -> 8.6

Fri Aug 12 16:48:04 EDT 2011

I upgraded from 8.0.2 to 8.5 without losing the demo license.  Used to be only major revision upgrades would exhibit the behavior described.

You just cannot upgrade with demo license...as Wes said upgrade removes demo license...this is applicable 8.0 also

Try this...install the same version as your production version, backup your production CUCM and restore the backup to the lab CUCM...you will find a fully running CUCM with the same exact DB you have in production on your test lab...active for one month :)

And you can go ahead and upgrade with the same license and it will exists with you for one month; it will be a better staging procedures for the upgrade.

Waiting you to share with us your experience.

I haven't looked at 8.6 yet.  Are you saying the 'default' license now expires every 90 days?  Will people need to buy licenses for test labs now?

Getting a flux capacitor is easier than getting a long term demo license for CUCM. ;)

You will also need a flux capacitor, which may be the difficult to come by.

It didn't before. It does now.

If you want to demo 8.6, you'll have to get an eval license good for 3 nodes, 500 dlu and 90 days.

Good morning,

Just upgraded my lab call manager (running demo license) from 8.5 to 8.6.

After the upgrade and reboot, the pub is now alerting that no feature license found. Is this a result of running an upgrade on a demo system, or is the feature license actually different between 8.5 and 8.6? Anyone know?

I'm just running through the various procedures in preparation for upgrading our production CM and UCCX - want to find out if I can write this off as trying to update a demo system, or if I need to be concerned with ordering a upgrade kit/PAK for 8.6 instead of using my
8.5 kit/PAK.

Lab is running on VMWare FWIW.

TIA!
