CME 9.0 Upgrade Registration Rejected Max Phones Exceeded

jeremy.hudgeons

Level 1

Recently upgrade to CME 9.0 and after ios and phone firmware upgrade I received the error Reg Rej - Max Phones... The CME was operational prior to the upgrade, Show license all showed the license active and the EULA accepted, Telephony-service had existing max-ephones configured. Entered the max-ephone command again with same information and I was prompted for the EULA to accept and phones began to register. Just wanted to put this out there for anybody else that comes across this problem.

Hey Jeremy,

the points your kind gesture deserves.

Cheers!

No problem, hope it helps someone.

Hello Jeremy,

I also faced the same issue today.

I did the same as you mentioned earlier in the first comment

But my license is showing it as 60 days trail version

I had complete license earlier to this deployment

Can you help me here

Thanks

Possibly you are referring to a demonstration UC license that has expired.

This license must be purchased and CME will not work without it.

Hi I have a similar issue i'm working on a lab. I have a voice-register pool and ephone configured, the sip phone registers without any issue but the sccp phone gives me the message "registration rejected max ephone exceeded"

so what I did was increase the max-ephone but when debugging 'debug ephone register'  the phone registration count goes to 1 above the configured max-ephone value. and the phone registration is rejected.

its really frustrating - I have a permanent uck9 license and can't figure out what is going on. I'm running 2911 15.2.4.M6 and have also tried M6 and experienced the same results.

my understanding is the uck9 lic controls the cucme aspect. (which is permanent)

please please help.

right so after a nights sleep i have figured this our - on my telephony-service config i tried to disable auto reg but accidently enabled no reg-ephone, the side effects of that is the cucme prevents the phone from registrating by incrementing the max-ephone reg number by 1 so if you have max-ephone set to say 5 and you have no reg-ephone enabled the cucme wil increment to the count to 5 and the next registration event is rejected with the message max ephone exceeded.

Dear Sir,

How are you ? Merry Christmas and happy new year ?? Kindly could you help me please ? I see the article about

Phone-Reg-Rej problem (registration rejected max phones exceeded ), Which you wrote it on Cisco support community

I have 2901 Voice gateway ,

I do the following :

1-   Change the Voice IOS for the router as  :-

-      c2900-universalk9-mz.SPA.152-4.M3.bin (V 9.1 Telephon-service ).

-      c2900-universalk9-mz.SPA.151-4.M3.bin (V 8.6 Telephony-Service )

-      c2900-universalk9-mz.SPA.154-1.T.bin  (V10 Telephony-Service)

2-     use this CLI Command license accept end user agreement then yes

3-     Remove Telephony-Service and return it again

4-      I use different IP Phones Like (7975,6921, ....etc) and all have the same above problem.

Sir if you have any solve to my problem please send it to me ?? Thanks

Ho Rashid,

what is the total number of IP phones you have on CME version 10?

From the compatibility matrix,I can see total number of SIP and SCCP phones on 2901 should be 35.

regds,

aman

yes its 35 user (Extensions), but i connect just 1 IP Phone which is 6921 , Phone not registered and the message still display??!!
