[cisco-voip] CUCM license grace period

[Kenneth Hayes]

Cisco Call Manager services will stop and cannot be restarted until you
license the node. See if you can get the NFR Kit for Unified Communications.

  If I run a cluster on invalid licenses, thus activating the 30-day grace
period, are there any side effects other than the warning message about
invalid licenses? I am planning to migrate a CUCM 8.6 cluster from MCS to
Vmware using DRS and in my practice environment I get this error message:



“System is operating on Invalid licenses. Call Manager service will go down
after the grace period of 30 days expires. Please obtain valid license
files and upload.”



Obviously I will need to get the correct license files, but it would sure
be handy if I can procrastinate on that until after the holidays. Just
wondering if there are any gotchas about using the grace period. Is it
“graceful” enough for production use? In my practice, I only tried
migrating the publisher (not enough hardware resources to practice
migrating the whole cluster). Once I do obtain the licenses, will the
cluster need rebooting?
