<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=IT>A few things to point out. Installing or using any non 8.0.3 CUCM version on VMware is unsupported. I've personally seen issues with the license manager service when putting a pre 8.0.3 CUCM version on VMware as you're looking to do, even after upgrading it to 8.x! The supported method requires an upgrade on the current MCS server to an 8.0.3 or later version, backup, restore to a VM running the same exact version. That's why we created bridged upgrades, so that you can install 8.x on hardware that doesn't support it, simply to take a backup to move to VMware. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=IT> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=IT>Adding to Abebe's reply, also remember that any custom TFTP files or MoH files will be lost using the rebuild method for the subscribers and letting them replicate.
