I thought I had to send something back to Cisco in order to get a license file created. That's why I asked about the expiry, i.e. if I install using a DMA export file, how long do I have to contact Cisco and get the permanent license file.<br><br>Do I still have to contact licensing with the MAC address of my machine and the PAK number for the publisher? Or is that all done with the DMA?<br><br>---<br>Lelio Fulgenzi, B.A.<br>Senior Analyst (CCS) * University of Guelph * Guelph, Ontario N1G 2W1<br>(519) 824-4120 x56354 (519) 767-1060 FAX (JNHN)<br>^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^<br>"Bad grammar makes me [sic]" - Tshirt<br><br><br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: "Ryan Ratliff" <rratliff@cisco.com><br>To: "Lelio Fulgenzi" <lelio@uoguelph.ca><br>Cc: "cisco-voip voyp list" <cisco-voip@puck.nether.net><br>Sent: Monday, November 2, 2009 4:51:08 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern<br>Subject: Re: [cisco-voip] performing multiple DMA imports<br><br><link href="/zimbra/css/msgview.css?v=081117021119" rel="stylesheet">For starters the latest DMAs will actually generate the licenses for you, bypassing the "paste this part of an xml file into the website" game (I think).<div><br></div><div>Second a DMA file isn't going to expire, self-destruct, or any such thing. It is simply a snapshot of your system at the time of the DMA so doing an export/install in the lab prior to full deployment is a smart thing to do. Once you know the hiccups, estimate the install time, etc you can do the "real" DMA once you have frozen config changes prior to cutover.</div><div><br><div>
