[cisco-voip] licensing turnaround time 8.6 to 10.5

[Josh Warcop]

No magical powers here. I don't wait around for things to happen.

A licensing error is still an error and the clients I work with have zero tolerance for this giant licensing banner popping up indicating they are out of compliance.

I’ve never seen it take that long once you are on the new licensing platform. The biggest issues I’ve seen is from pre-9.x to 9.x or 10.x



Josh must have magical powers because licensing is a nightmare.

It just took us 39 days to get our licensing for 9.1.1 to 10.5

I can send you a list of several SRs offline.  We provide Cisco SOs, UCSS contracts, Cisco.com usernames, LCU files and PLM license requests.  The standard response WAS 5-7 business days, but within the past two weeks the standard response has increased to 10-12 business days while awaiting approval from a product manager.

I'm not sure what licensing team you're working with but there is a specific migration team for Collab products. We do several upgrades monthly for clients and it has never been over 24 hours. Understanding everything that needs to be done prior to engaging TAC is usually the fault of the engineers or client.

SWSS Contract in place? If not still current  ESW/UCSS? Have you verified with UCSS support?  Has LCT been submitted properly with the online form? Has PUT been used properly to acquire any licensing?

This can all be done in advance and within a day. If you can't get the stuff via the automated methods and open a case presenting everything properly is necessary to get past level 1 GLO and to migration support.

Like I mentioned earlier we are never two business days beyond getting ELM licensed after an upgrade.

Thanks!

Hahahahahahahahahahaha...

Sorry I shouldn't laugh, but Cisco's license upgrade process for UC 10 is laughable at best.  Licenses have to be approved by a product manager and its now increased to a 10-12 business day process.   Luckily theres a lengthy grace period before you're locked out of provisioning the servers.
