[cisco-voip] BE5K to BE6K license with valid UCSS issue

Wed Oct 29 17:35:48 EDT 2014

My first email always states to forward immediately to migration support because first level has no access to 90% of what I'm usually doing.

Well I finally have my licenses issued under UCSS.

Why does it have to be such a process to get entitlement?

It’s the run around you get from GLO. The BE6k migration guide clearly states if you are on BE5K and have valid UCSS you are entitled to BE6K licenses at no-cost.

It all works fairly well IMO. Are you running pre license checks? AKA license migration utility?

Ryan,

I did exactly that. The customer (car dealer) had 3 sites. One completely new ordered BE6K bundle. Second had CUCM/UCN 7.x with no UCSS we ordered BE6K bundle with 25 UCL promo then did a get current promo for the rest of the licenses and the 3rd site which is the site in question had valid UCSS on a BE5K and ordered the BE6K-ST-BDL-K9= which had everything pre-installed.

The migration is complete and we are just waiting to get the licenses owed to them.

I have to do a BE6K 8.6 to 9.1.2 upgrade next week and I know it’s going to be a nightmare getting those licenses issued(valid UCSS).

Cisco needs to stream line this issue because its not working for guys in the field. I start with Cisco in 2 weeks building collab labs and will be working with the BU and maybe I’ll let them know about the frustrations.

Thanks,

Mike

While on the topic and since you mentioned ordering the UCS.  Please make sure when ordering BE6Ks for customers that you follow the ordering guide and use the correct top-level BE6K SKU (eg BE6K-ST-BDL-K9=).

I've had a few escalations for folks that ordered UCSC-C220-M3SBE= (the BE6K spare) and blow up when it doesn't come with any software pre-installed.

I did verify UCSS and even have the email from the UCSS team. I was able to order the software and the customer ordered the UCS C-220. The migration is done we are now up against the clock waiting for the licenses.

First email ucss-support at external.cisco.com with your UCSS and ESW contract numbers to see if it was ever set up correctly. Ask about association and license verification. Once cleared there you should be able to use the PUT tool to create an order for upgrade licensing based on your ESW number.

The next course of action with the licensing team is to request being sent to the upgrades team or the on duty manager. There is a whole separate team for upgrades once reached via mp-upgrades at cisco.com.

In all correspondence include the UCSS PAK, the ESW contract, and the Cisco SO number. The Cisco SO number is your golden ticket.

I have a valid UCSS contract for 100 BE5K licenses. I know the first level guys are contractors, but it’s like he didn’t even read my case notes and just closed it.

I have not had any problem with this. What exactly do you have license wise?

I see quite a few partners on this list and I’m wondering how many have had trouble getting licenses from Cisco licensing when you had a valid UCSSS contract?

I’ve opened 2 cases and put in the customers valid UCSS contract and they are immediately closed with the same verbiage “contact your reseller to purchase the upgrade”

Any ideas?
