Cisco Call Manager services will stop and cannot be restarted until you license the node. See if you can get the NFR Kit for Unified Communications.<br>

If I run a cluster on invalid licenses, thus activating the 30-day grace period, are there any side effects other than the warning message about invalid licenses? I am planning to migrate a CUCM 8.6 cluster from MCS to Vmware using DRS and in my practice environment
I get this error message:<br>
<br>
“System is operating on Invalid licenses. Call Manager service will go down after the grace period of 30 days expires. Please obtain valid license files and upload.”<br>
<br>
Obviously I will need to get the correct license files, but it would sure be handy if I can procrastinate on that until after the holidays. Just wondering if there are any gotchas about using the grace period. Is it “graceful” enough for production use? In
my practice, I only tried migrating the publisher (not enough hardware resources to practice migrating the whole cluster). Once I do obtain the licenses, will the cluster need rebooting?<br>
