[cisco-voip] CUCM license grace period

[Ahmed Elnagar]

I have uploaded a license two days ago from demo to actual license and it
requires CCM services restart.

I believe you do need to restart call manager service

You should see the warning go away immediately and if so you are good to go.
License Manager picks up the new licenses as they are added so no restarts
should be required.

Thanks Ryan. What about when I do finally put in valid license files (before
30 days)? Will the cluster need rebooting?

Nothing will happen until the grace period expires.  There wouldn't be much
grace in grace period that cut you off early :)

Even before the 30 days? I will get the proper license files eventually I'm
just wondering if it is considered "okay" to rely on the grace period for a
couple weeks so I can stuff my face with Christmas goodies instead. The
error message implies the CM service will run for 30 days before stopping
but I'm hoping somebody can confirm.

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?
