Chapter 32 License File Upload
Obtaining a License File
Procedure
Step 1 Enter the Product Authorization Key (PAK) that you received with your Cisco Unified Communications
Manager or phone order in the License Registration web tool at
http://www.cisco.com/go/license.
Step 2 Click Submit.
Step 3 Follow the system prompts. You must enter the MAC address of the Ethernet 0 NIC of the first node of
the Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster. You must enter a valid e-mail address as well as the
number of nodes and device license units for which you want licenses.
Note For information on calculating the number of device license units that are required for the
devices in your system, refer to the “Calculating License Units” section on page 31-1.
The system sends the license file(s) to you via e-mail by using the E-mail ID that you provided. The
format of a license file specifies CCM<timestamp>.lic. If you retain the
.lic extension, you can rename
the license file. You cannot use the license if you edit the contents of the file in any way.
Note One license file may apply to more than one node in your cluster. For information on how to
interpret the license file, see the “Uploading a License File” section on page 32-5.
Step 4 You must upload the license file to the server with the matching MAC address that you provided in
Step 3. See the “Uploading a License File” section on page 32-5. This server then takes on the
functionality of the license manager.
Note You can use the licenses that are specified in the license file only within the cluster on which the license
file is uploaded.
