This is NOT true.<br><br>I just did an upgrade (3.3 to 5.1)... and we built a new server with CCM3.3, restored the backup (in a lab, no phones present), upgraded to 4.1, ran DMA and upgraded to 5.1 and restored the DMA data.
<br><br>The license was for all of the phones configured (zero phones were registered at the time DMA was run), and the customer had a full upgrade license for all configured phones.<br><br><br><br>Jonathan<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

Actually, this is not the case. It will only generate DLUs for phones<br>that are registered with the CallManager server. It will skip any<br>device that is not registered and not count it in the DLU list.<br><br><br><br>

5.1<br><br>Who said you had to buy the phones. You can just put phones in with<br>bogus MAC addresses and it will generate DLUs for those. I thought they<br>had to be registered but turns out that they just have to be present in
<br>the system. You can create IP communicators or any other phone to boost<br>the DLUs. That is a big problem since anybody can do this.<br><br>Chris<br><br>--original message--<br><br>thanks Ed for your reply, yes you are right I contacted Partner help and
<br>they told me that during the upgrade a file will be generated that when<br>given to cisco they will give us back the DLUs equivalent to what<br>configured on the system. I think this is an illegal workaround for the<br>
lic. issue as by that someone could buy phones without lic. and then<br>setup them with CM 4.1 and then upgrade and he will be having a DLUs for<br>free. I think Cisco has to do something to solve this.<br><br>Thanks and Best Regards

5.1<br><br><br>hi Ahmed,<br><br>When you upgrade, callmanager will generate a temporary license for all<br>the devices you have configured from 4.1. If I understand correctly, you<br>just have to send that off to cisco's licensing group and have it
<br>converted to a real 5.2 license with the appropriate number of DLUs. If<br>its anything like Unity licensing, the turn-around is pretty quick. I'm<br>assuming you need a SASU agreement for callmanager for them to do it.
<br><br>We are getting ready to do the same process here this summer with our<br>4.1 system.<br><br>Hope that helps.<br><br>Ed<br><br><br><br>On 5/2/07, Ahmed Elnagar <<a href="mailto:aelnagar@act-eg.com">aelnagar@act-eg.com
