CUCM 9 AND LICENSE

[chrysostomos1980]

Hi

I have read the upgrade guide for cucm 9 and i get confused

could you pls verify the below?

1) i have to install the cop file for refresh upgrade

2) in this guide is say that we have to install fisrt the license for 9 and then to perform the upgrade .something i am missing>?It say something else ?

Because i know that you can add the license after the upgrade

Warning:

You must apply all pre-9.0 licenses to Cisco Unified Communications Manager before you upgrade to Release 9.0. After you upgrade to Release 9.0, you cannot apply these licenses to Cisco Unified Communications Manager and you cannot apply them using the Enterprise License Manager.

Hi Chrysostomos,

The reference is only for "pre 9.0" licenses, so like if you had some 8.x

CUWL or UCL licenses that had been ordered but never applied/added. The 9.x

licenses will be generated and requested after the migration is complete

and will need to be loaded via ELM during the 60 day post upgrade grace period.

Cheers!
