Retrieve installed license for shipped CUC 6.x
|
|
| Anthony Kouloglou 2007-11-28, 7:12 am |
| Hi,
i have just received a new CUC 6.X. I continued the installation and
when it finished i discovered:
1 node license and 50 units licenses that cisco have promised about 6.X
versions.
How can i have the lic file so, i can use it in case of future
reinstallation?
P.S. I have also ordered 100 units licenses. After i activate them and
get the lic file, when i install i will
have 100 units i guess and not 150. Isn't it so? :-)

| Antonis,
You are correct as soon as you add in any license file it will deactivate
the "lab" license. So in your case you are correct you will have only 100
DLU's.
As far as getting the license file. You can't the system will not let you
download it. However on any FRESH install of CUCM 6 it will be loaded.
However this is only on a fresh install and not on an upgrade using the DMA
tool.
Craig

| Hi Craig,
so i need to apply also the node license that i have purchased and not
only the units license.
The lab license gets deactivated immediately after i upload the proper
unit or node license?

As far as I know -- if you send cisco www.cisco.com/licence the mac
adress of the server or the PAK you should have received anyway with
your ccm order for the node licence they will send you an actual lic
file you can save. If this is 1005 the same as the pre-loaded one I am
not sure but I guss it does not really matter - in case you re-build
the file you receive should do the trick -- maybe someone else in the
group can confirm

| Correct for CUCM 6.x there are 3 different types of licenses. The
first two were also in 5.x, being the DLU and node licenses. The
third, and new one, is the platform license. Typically the DLU and
node licenses come in the same .lic file (or multiple ones depending
on the number of DLUs you need).
A new CUCM 6 install will have 50 DLUs, 1 node, and a platform
license, as you noted. As soon as you upload ANY license file these
"lab" licenses are deactivated. Make sure you have your DLUs, node,
and platform licenses so you can upload them all to the server.
Without the platform license the CallManager service will not start.

| Hi Ryan,
We have sasu and have a cluster of 4 callmanager
servers. We have bought 4 new servers and did a fresh
install of cm6 on all of them. We have not run the
dma tool. To clarify, does the dma tool only convert
device license units, meaning I will need to contact
licensing for the node license and platform license
for each server? Do we only need one platform license
or is that one each per server?
Also during installation, I know the system prompts if
you are doing a fresh install or upgrade. If I did
the fresh install, is it possible to bring over the
dma tar file? If so, where? Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Roy

| If you run the DMA tool it will create a tar file.
This tar file will be uploaded to the CCM 6 box DURING the install of
CCM 6 on the publisher.
If the publisher has already been installed, you cannot migrate data
back into CCM...
So, you need to start over.
Now, the license that is provided during this process will include all
nodes and DLUs you have (so, add more before you run the DMA tool).
Now, after the install, you will have an upgrade license file, you
then go to www.cisco.com/go/license and then you can get a permanent
license... In theory, my last one failed and I had to call TAC and
they issued me a temporary license (claiming that CCM 6 was on NPH and
they could not issue permanent licenses (not true and if you escalate
and whine enough, you can get a permanent license).

| Roy,
If you choose not to use DMA you'll need to talk to licensing / customer
service (licensing@cisco.com) to get the licenses for the products you
already own.
This means you'll need to come up with sales / purchase orders for your
phones and CallManagers showing you're entitled to CallManager 6
licenses and a certain number of device license units.
When using DMA all of this is done for you in the XML file you get after
completing the 6.X DMA install. You just need to combine this XML file
with the 6X PAK on the cisco site.
Thanks,
Jason Burns

| Actually, I have done it without a SO, just a UG...
Just tell them that the old hardware was in imminent failure and there
was no capability to run DMA and you are building the new box from
scratch, then give them a phone count and they will issue you a
license, the UG is essentially a windfall in free licensing...
