[cisco-voip] CUCM license grace period

[Matthew Loraditch]

It appears my iPad had this stuck in the outbox for a few days...

With VMware you can calculate what the license Mac will be using the answer file generator and this get the files ahead of time.

If you do use the grace period, all that normally needs a reset after an upload is the ccm service on the pub.

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?
