        <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>
        Anthony<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>
