I can't imagine Cisco telling you at time of UCSS renewal you have to do this. If you let UCSS lapse, then yes, this will likely kick in.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">As of UC 8.5 from a licensing stand point “Ala Carte” licensing is no more as Erick mentioned however is there is absolutely a fee associated with the migration to UCL. Currently that migration
fee is $3 per Enhanced Seat providing you purchase 3 Years of UCSS at the same time @ $26 List, I believe that is a promotion so that may change in the future. You will not run into this until your UCSS renewal or until you’re UCSS/ESW lapses and you attempt
to renew it. At which point you will need to select a licensing model (CUWL or UCL) in order to renew or reactivate UCSS. I would like a Cisco PM (if one watches this list) to jump in and give some insight on how renewals will be enforced? Our renewal department
still appears to be pumping out UCSS renewals without requiring a licensing migration as outlined in the UCSS ordering guide, will that change?</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Any idea when that changed for Ala Carte.. Recently? I attempted this during Unity to Unity Connection 8 Migration about 8 months ago and got shot down by licensing. In
normal migration fashion, I had to take the licensing from the Unity server, get the MAC changed for CUC, Upload to CUC and then install the Unity to CUC Migration License. After that i was sitting with 16 ports, I still had the Cisco licensing chick on the
line and she flat out told me the system was only purchased with 16 ports and thats all the customer was entitled to, even made her get her team lead on the line with us and was told the same thing by him. My aggravation then was that the migration SKU even
said in the discription Unity to Unity Connection 32 Ports but that meant nothing to licensing. I'm looking at an Ala Carte client in PUT right now with active UCSS I do not see any Max Ports SKUs like I see with CUWL. Curious....<o:p></o:p></span></p>
