We're doing a mock upgrade this week in the lab, I'll see what it does. I've been told both things also.<br><br>We're loading one of our BARS backups onto a test server and then doing the upgrade process on it.. so should be very obvious if it gives me licenses for all the unregistered devices on the cluster or just the few that we endup plugging up in the lab.

That is good. I was told both. It would have been a shame to see people<br>abusing this.<br><br>Chris<br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: Matt Slaga (US) [mailto:<a href="mailto:Matt.Slaga@us.didata.com">Matt.Slaga@us.didata.com

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
