                      <br>
                      Thanks Lelio,<br>
                      i understood what you said about licensing and
                      contracts.<br>
                      But, i would like to know apriori if possible
                      that, if i have upgraded to 7.1.5 i would have to
                      wait for the 8.5 because you cannot upgrade from
                      7.1.5 to 8.0.<br>
                      Is this info for the next versions of 8.5
                      somewhere?<br>
                      <br>
                      Thanks a lot<br>

                          Technically speaking, you'll have to look at
                          the CUCM compatibility matrix to see what
                          versions can upgrade to what versions. Cisco
                          hasn't been too bad at making upgrades work
                          especially from an n-1 release, however, there
                          are occasions depending on how far into the
                          N-1 train you venture you will not be able to
                          upgrade to the next release. For example, you
                          can't upgrade from 7.1.5 to 8.0 I believe, but
                          you can upgrade from 7.1.5 to 8.5 (please
                          check the matrix for exacts).<br>

                          <br>
                          Licensing is another matter and handles the
                          legality of upgrades. An "Essential" contract
                          allows you access to minor upgrades, i.e. N.x
                          to N.y. A UCSS contract allows you access to
                          major upgrades, i.e. N.x to N+1.y. In
                          actuality, you can upgrade to the latest
                          version, not just N+1. ;)<br>
                          <br>
                          Hope that helps, I'm sure others will offer up
                          some comments as well.<br>
