Migrate license from BE6K to "large" CUCM

[Michael Hamann]

Hello community,

I have two questions:

- Am I right that running BE6K on a "third party" VMWare platform is still not supported ?

- If the answer to question above is "no" than what options do we have to migrate the BE6K (licenses) of a customer to a "non BE6K" environemt (CUCM & Unity Con.) system to run it on the VMWare platform the customer is already running. (ESW/SWSS has to be renewed in a few weeks).

At the moment the UC systems are running on a seperate VMWare platform with 2 standalone UCS-C series servers...

Thank you for any hint...

It is still not supported to run BE6K on a third party HW platform since it is a bundle that comes pre installed with a certain set of UC applications on a specific Cisco UCS hardware. However, you can always run UC applications on a third party server (in case you do not want to order BE6K) as long as it meet the requirements mentioned in below document:

For migrating the licenses, reach out to Cisco Licensing Team at licensing@cisco.com and they will help you with the same once you provide them Sales Order (SO) Number, Purchase Order (PO) etc.

Try Googling "Cisco collaboration virtualization supported hardware". Or, as you are a Cisco Employee you can reach out to the BU.
