[cisco-voip] what triggers license change in UCCx?

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

So is this different than physical hardware? Because I reinstalled on physical hardware using the _exact_ same settings and had to have the licenses re-issued because the license mac changed.

The virtual mac address on the VM does not affect the license MAC generated for the licensing, and it still uses the same old method as previous and your license MAC can be "generated" or seen by using the AFG tool: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/applicat/content/cuc-afg/index.html

Taken from that webpage:
The License MAC is generated based on the Primary Node's Time Zone, NTP Server 1, NIC Speed, NIC Duplex, Host Name, DHCP, IP Address, IP Mask, Gateway Address, Primary DNS, SMTP Location, and Certificate Information.

Just curious what really triggers a license change in UCCx.

I do know that any re-installation will do it, regardless if it's on the same physical hardware. I'm going to assume that re-installing on virtual equipment will have the same outcome.

What if I install on virtual using a static MAC address and simply export and import the UCCx VMs onto another ESXi host?

Just trying to plan accordingly.
