Upgrading Product Licenses
When you upgrade from supported Cisco Unified CallManager 4.x releases, the system calculates the
licenses that are required for existing devices and existing nodes and generates an intermediate file
(XML file) that contains this information. You use this file to obtain license files that you can import
into Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. (Refer to
Procedure 2.) Alternately, you
can use the license file that Data Migration Assistant (DMA) generates. (Refer to Procedure 1.)
You receive these licenses free of cost because you are already using these phones for a Cisco Unified
CallManager 4.x release.
Use either Procedure 1 or Procedure 2 to obtain licenses for Cisco Unified Communications Manager when
you upgrade from supported 4.x releases.
Procedure 1
Step 1 When you use Data Migration Assistant to migrate your data, choose the Export > Storage Location >
Destination Option for License File tool to specify a local directory destination for the license file
licupgrade.lic
Note Do not specify a mapped network directory for the Local Directory. If you do, be aware that
DMA may not be able to create the destination folder.
Step 2 Run DMA according to instructions in the Data Migration Assistant User Guide.
Step 3 Upgrade the Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers according to instructions in the document
Upgrading Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 7.1(2) from Cisco Unified Communications
Manager 4.x Releases.
Step 4 Upload the license file to the server with the matching MAC address of the Ethernet 0 NIC of the first
node of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster.
