CME-SRST license

[Noy-pi]

Hi,

I recently upgraded the IOS of the router of our customer to have a CME ver. 9.5. After the upgrade, the cme-srst license type became "EvalRightToUse", and the license state became "Not in Use, EULA not accepted". So I configured the router to accept EULA and reload. After that, IP phones and ATAs starts working and the license is now "Active, In Use".

However, I am wondering that the period left became "8 weeks 4 days". Previously, before the upgrade was done, it was "540 weeks 2  days". Please refer below the satus of CME-SRST license BEFORE the IOS upgrade:

CME#show license detail cme-srst

Feature: cme-srst                        Period left: 540 weeks 2  days

Index: 1        Feature: cme-srst                          Version: 1.0

        License Type: Evaluation

        License State: Active, In Use

            Evaluation total period: 208 weeks 2  days

            Evaluation period left: 123 weeks 4  days

            Expiry date: Aug 08 2015 17:05:39

        License Count: 5000/500/0  (Active/In-use/Violation)

        License Priority: Low

        Store Index: 23

        Store Name: Evaluation License Storage

1. Is there any way to bring back the "540 weeks 2 days" ?

2. What will happen after "8 weeks 4 days" period? the IP phones and ATAs will stop working?

NOTE: customer already purchased the CME-SRST license before the upgrade was done.

hoping for help...

thanks,

Hi Shawn,

Since u have already accepted EULA and CME-SRST licenses are honour based, the license type would change to RTU after 8 weeks ,4 days.

Hi Shawn,

Just refer this link

http://blog.vuurmuur.com/?p=32

Licensing functionality is working as per design here. Cme-srst licenses are honor based and hence you have to just accept the EULA. After the 60 days of EvalRightToUse the license will change to "right to use" for 12 years.
