Hi All,

Hi Helmi,

After upgrade you will need to rehost the license, you get 180 days in which to do this so the system will remain fully functional. 

A guide on how to rehost the license can be found here;

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your help.

Can i use my existing UCSS/ESW contract to rehost the license, or i need to pay more for the license rehost?

Thanks,

Helmi

Hi Helmi,

If you have UCSS/ESW contract in place then there will be no charge to rehost the license.

I have previously done a manual upgrade and it worked fine, use whichever you feel most comfortable in completing

I would go with Manual upgrade. Its much more safer and controlled. If you need help, I created a very detailed document, and successfully upgraded from 1.5 to 2.5.
