Hi Angel,
I just wanted to add this reference to the great tips from Anand (+5 )
With VMware the license is created in a new/different manner that's why you are
seeing this new "license mac" reference;
Customer Impact from New Licensing Procedures
Cisco Unified Communications Manager on VMware on Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers uses a different licensing model than Cisco Unified Communications Manager on an MCS server. The MAC address of the NIC card is no longer used to associate the license to the server.
Instead, the license gets associated to a license MAC, which is a 12 digit HEX value created by hashing the following parameters that you configure on the server:
•
Time zone
•NTP server 1 (or "none")
•NIC speed (or "auto")
•Hostname
•IP Address (or "dhcp")
•IP Mask (or "dhcp")
•Gateway Address (or "dhcp")
•Primary DNS (or "dhcp")
•SMTP server (or "none")
•Certificate Information (Organization, Unit, Location, State, Country)
This hash of these fields is called the LICENSE MAC
Note : Once there is a change in any of the parameters that creates the License MAC, it will
give you 30 day grace period to generate a new license file for the CM based on new license
MAC.
