Hello All

I have a big problem , i have already requested Cisco licenses 4 months for my CUCM PUB , and my Cisco Unity connection. When i uploaded the licenses to my CUCM Pub , i get invalid licenses file (check mac-address , time expires , regenerat) , however the licenses for unity are uploaded successfully. The mac address of Pub license file  is matching mac -address from (show network on CUCM and show status from cli) , so i am sure from the licenses.Actuall i attached the license , may be something is wrong. I need any help or any idea to solve my issue.

Check that the your mac address is the one I posted above. I suggest send an email to licensing@cisco.com and have them repissue another license to you. ensure you rprovide them with the correct mac address and your sales order no

Time is not an issue..

You can check your mac address by issueing the ff command on the OS Admin of cucm

show network eth0 detail..

Islam..

How did you conclude that these are licenses for vmware server?

Hi aokanlawon

Actually i check the license file , please find the below:-

INCREMENT SW_FEATURE cisco 8.0 permanent uncounted \

VENDOR_STRING=15CF3FC2B1B1C5CF3FC2B1B1C2.0 \

HOSTID=HOSTNAME=5CF3FC2B1B1C \

If this for physical server , should get INCREMENT PHONE_UNIT not SW_FEATURE

, other issue should be between "&" the number of your CUCM_user licenses ,not 1 as mentioned on the attached file.

Thank you

Sounds like you may have provided the wrong MAC address either through error or virtuial. 

This can be fixed pretty fast by contacting Cisco support  U.S. / Canada 800-553-2447

Hi Mohamed

Please confirm that the mac address on your license file received from cisco "5CF3FC2B1B1C" is the same as the mac displayed when you issue the command " show status" under CLI when ssh to CUCM.

Step 1:

ssh to the CUCM then issue a "show status"

-what is the license mac ??

-compare it with is mac = 5CF3FC2B1B1C ==> this is from the license file you received from Cisco.

Step 2 :

Confirm from the output of "show status" if you are running on a VM platform.

It would hel if you can paste your output of your "show status" results from you CUCM cli.

Step 3 :

Please take not if your license mac is in UPPER CASE or lower case.

Step 4:

You will need to get hold of your PAK number that you used when requesting for this license file and contact cisco TAC to rehost the license file and also paste the CLI output from the "show status"

They will rehost your license files and correct the issue.

****Please give feedback on the resolution*****

Thanks & Regards.!.!!

Hi Gaven

Yes , my friend and only change ( i set 1500 for licesnses for CUCM users as example you have to get on your correct file the licenses instead of 1500 not 1) for you perfect example:-

INCREMENT PHONE_UNIT  cisco 8.0 permanent uncounted \

VENDOR_STRING=15005CF3FC2B1B1C5CF3FC2B1B1C2.0 \

HOSTID=HOSTNAME=5CF3FC2B1B1C OVERDRAFT=1 \

I am sorry that conclusion is wrong. CUCM licenses is divided into three parts

1. Phone licenses/user licenses

2. Node licenses

3. SW feature licenses..

Below is a sample license file for a appliance based cucm8.6..and you can clearly see the SW feature license. There are no phone licenses here so you dont see the phone count..

Hello

I need to thank all of u , i get a reply from license team as Eng/Aokanlawon advised me.

"I checked MAC address: 5CF3FC2B1B1C and it shows that license was hosted to a vmware server. Is this correct? 
 
Can you verify if you are running on vmware or physical server only?"

Based on that i get my issue that i get wrong license , many thanks.

Thanks

Yes, you are correct

CUCM licenses is divided into three parts

1. Phone licenses/user licenses

2. Node licenses

3. SW feature licenses..

On Islam`s license file the issue is that he did not upload this license on time. The license is dated :2013070623 and you have a time frame in wich you must load these license files.

Islam you have the correct license but you did not upload it on time. That is why you are receiving the following error:i (check mac-address , time expires , regenerat

Your license file below is correct. You need to regenerate the license file again. Cisco will help you with that.
