Unity 5x license question

davidgoude

Does anyone know if Unity 5x has the same or similar type of demo license that 4x has?

I have 4x in my lab that has always just used the license that came with the bundle (10 subscribers and 2 ports). This box is a Cisco MCS box we purchased for the exact reason of getting the software bundle included.

Does the same thing exist with 5 or am I looking at having to relicense a lab server? It seems a little silly since I have UCSS for Unity, but now may have to purchase additional licensing? If that is the case, fine - I don't like it, but fine. I just need to know.

I am having an unbelievably hard time getting this questioned answered by TAC or my account team.

Sorry - I didn't realize I put this in the IPT forum. If any mods can move this to the Unified Apps forum, I would appreciate it.

Hi David,

The same Demo License is available for Unity 5.x so you are good to go :)

Here is the related Unity 5.x info;

A demonstration system uses one of two different license files:

•Default license file (available on the Cisco Unity server).

•Time-limited license file (must be ordered from Cisco).

Limits on a Cisco Unity Demonstration System

Depending on the type of license file you use-Default License File or Time-Limited License File-the Cisco Unity demonstration system will have the limits listed below.

Default License File

-Unified Messaging (UM) subscribers

-Voice Messaging (VM) subscribers

10 Cisco Unity Inbox subscribers

2 voice ports

2 voice-recognition sessions

30-second limit for messages

The ability to integrate with any supported phone system

Time-Limited License File

The time-limited license enables either Unified Messaging (UM) or Voice Messaging (VM) with the following limitations:

The demo license is the same. 2 ports, 10 subscribers.

If you have a Unity 4.x *Licensed*. you can do the following:

email licensing@cisco.com

include the following:

SmartNet contract

MAC address of OLD unity server 4.2

MAC address of NEW unity server 5.x

LIC file from 4.2 unity server

explain what you are doing and they should have no problem assigning a new LIC file for your 5.x server

cheers
