We're on CUCM 11.5 now. In the future we'll be switching to 12, but when I was looking at the details for the upgrade I see that we must convert to 'Smart' licensing. I think we'll use the 'Direct' method for CUCM to sync licensing with the Cisco license servers.
After we upgrade to version 12 for CUCM, IM&P and Unity, I assume there's no more reasons to keep our VM of Prime License Manager (PLM) installed, correct? Right now, the PLM virtual machine is what manages the licenses for our CUCM and Unity. If CUCM and Unity version 12 will be syncing directly with Cisco in the future, I can't think of any reason to keep an installation of Prime License Manager. Just looking for confirmation of my thoughts. Thanks
