[cisco-voip] jump upgrade "license disabling" step...

[Jason Aarons (AM)]

In my case 7.1.5 was a DRS restored to a lab VM. Shutdown then snapshot.  Booted.  Then the cop files applied. Then shutdown for a snapshot.  Then booted. Then went to run the 9.1.2 upgrade when I got the error and setup a root support account to correct the bug.

In the lab I use snapshots should I need to-retest some part of the process later.

Hello Henry, Jason;

Can you confirm whether you applied the COP refresh on physical hardware?

Thanks!

I used ciscocm.refresh_upgrade_v1.3.cop.sgn prior to upgrading and still encountered that bug.  Fix was to have TAC root in and rename the file in the bugid.

The bug ID is CSCuj10105 and COP v1.3 does the trick.

 Hi lelio,
I have done this and you have to do the latest cop version 1.3 for the "licensing disabling" otherwise the other cop versions will bring an error that "upgrade is prohibited in License Grace Period"
Do the cop file install before you restore the backup.
There is a bug to that effect of Cop version.

I'm performing a "modified" jump upgrade from v7 to v9, in so much as that we are using physical hardware as the target, not VMs. I asked this a couple of times during webinars and our account team, and there were no red flags raised.

I just want to be sure that the "licensing disabling" step, the step that allows me to reinstall v7 on the servers and upgrade them without having to rehost, is covered by installing the refresh upgrade (RU) COP file.

I'm going to re-read the jump upgrade document again in more detail, but from the few times I have read it, there was no mention of any other software to disable the licensing.
