Which version of UCM are you using?

The PAK code is normaly in  the license .lic file.

The later UCM's you can go to "License File Upload", select your license file and then view.

You should see a section.

Why do you need to know the PAK code?

Hey Graham

It's 7.X version.. As there is a handover of a site the client has to rehost the License in their CM.

Is there any way to find..

Thanks..

It depends on how this system became 7.1

If its an upgrade from an earlier release there may not be any PAK code for the phones or nodes. There will be a PAK code for the feature license but that will just reference the upgrade.

If you are trying to find what the customer purchased that may not be possible.

You can get a system re-hosted by giving the existing MAC address and the new MAC, you don't need a PAK code for that.

You can try to look at the license files from the CLI if you have 7.1(3) or later.

try: file list license *

That should list the license files installed.

You can then download the files to a sftp server by: file get license

Once you have the license file names you can open a case with licensing and ask them if they have PAK codes.

Hello Graham, can u throw more light on how you can can rehost the cucm by replacing the new Mac with the existing Mac of the licensed cucm publisher.? Is it possible to change Mac address of the the new vmware host with an existing vmware host? Won't there Mac address conflict?

Thanks Jaime..

One footnote to add here: The PAK also functions as a serial number for the purposes of support entitlement. This becomes esspecially useful when doing virtualized deployments.
