[cisco-voip] Upgrade from 8.6 to 9.1 Licensing

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

I'm pretty sure that you can reassign both used and unused DLUs to CUWL s/p or UCL b/a/a+. 

Also, the one caveat is that once you're licenses are assigned, that it's, there's no going back and asking them to change them to something else. I think this is the biggest worry people have who are not familiar with the system (including me). If you don't order enough of one type, it eats up a license for the next one up. 

In our situation, we have a number of people who have two phones, but not an exact number, nor an exact work-flow that can capture future ones. I'd like to be able to use the UCL Advanced+ for these folks rather than two UCL Advanced, but I'm not sure how well that will work out. 

Funny thing is, I ran the report and got some CUWL numbers.... *shrug* we don't use CUWL.

>From what I understand, licensing has been CUWL/UCL for quite some time. Cisco would just issue you PAKs for a per-determined number of DLUs along with PAKs for the other product licenses. 

The problem this posed is that DLUs could be allocated any way one desired and almost nobody assigned the owner ID to devices or primary device ID for things like CIPC. 

What happens when you upgrade to 9.x is that the ELM determines licensing based on a couple of things. 
1. What you currently have configured based on owner ID and primary device IDs. 
2. Leftover DLUs can be allocated into CUWL standard, pro, etc. 

I think there is more to it so any other insight would be great.

Has anyone upgraded from 8.6 to 9.1. 


How does the licensing work? 


we currently are using DLU's and we have some concerns as to how it changes in 9.1. 


Cisco is pushing CUWL / Enterprise licensing.
