I agree with this. I've had no problems with the DMA process on two 4 to 6 upgrades I've done. The email with the permanent license arrives within minutes.<br><br>However, I can't say the same for my dbreplication. During both upgrades, I changed the hostname and IP of the server and after the upgrade/install to 6.1 the replication is broken due to stale records in the sqlhosts file. I have a TAC case open now for them to root in a fix it.<br>

In theory if you manage to paste in the right bits of XML the tool<br>
will generate your license and email it to you with no live person<br>
involved at all. I've done it once so I know it's possible. User<br>
experience varies greatly however.<br>

Just one quick note...<br>
<br>
You won't really get a PAK when you use the PUT to order an upgrade...<br>
you get an Entitlement number and a Sales Order number.<br>
<br>
Once you have your MAC address, you can then use that info to email<br>
<a href="mailto:licensing@cisco.com">licensing@cisco.com</a> to get any licensing issues straightened out...<br>
<br>
Also, once you run DMA and build your new CCM6.1 box and import your<br>
DMA data, you will get a temp license that you should send to Cisco to<br>
get a real license.<br>
<br>
You can do this online at <a href="http://www.cisco.com/go/license" target="_blank">www.cisco.com/go/license</a> and click the<br>
option for 'no pak code and upgrade licenses'... then fill in your mac<br>
(show network eth0 details) and paste the temp license into the field.<br>
When it fails (with an XML error), email licensing with your SO and<br>
Entitlement number and the output of the temp license and they will<br>
send you a license<br>
<br>
Maybe not so quick of a note...<br>
