[cisco-voip] licensing turnaround time 8.6 to 10.5

[Josh Warcop]

I'm curious.. 
 
Are you guys using https://survey.opinionlab.com/survey/s?s=10422 OR
 
https://tools.cisco.com/SWIFT/LicensingUI/Quickstart
 
Get Other Licensing... --> Migration --> Voice Products --> And submitting the ELM request?
 
Prior to all of this you need to have a separate case completed to verify the license count utility. This is done well in advance of the the actual upgrade and gives you the case # you need to reference if there are any questions. This case is your 'golden ticket' to getting the licensing files submitted. 
 
Beyond this all of my cases are escalated to Sev2 via phone.

I have close friends that are SE’s and if there is some magical  external email address that gets a faster response from GLO then we all (partners and customers) will benefit from it. From: Anthony Holloway [mailto:avholloway+cisco-voip at gmail.com]

Can I just type in random numbers and see other peoples cases?  If not, and I hope not, else I need to start sanatizing my log files, what are you planning on doing with this guy's case number if he does give it to you?On Fri Dec 12 2014 at 1:56:14 PM Mike <mikeeo at msn.com> wrote:Unicast me one of your case numbers I want to see how you are getting past all the BS.

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.

Subject: RE: [cisco-voip] licensing turnaround time 8.6 to 10.5I’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.
