One of our client was given the following license file for their callmanager.

    VENDOR_STRING=<Count>10</

My questions are:does the above file correspond to callmanager version 5 license file?
can you use this on callmanager version 7?Thanks

This license has been issued for a VMware installation using license MACs that apply to 8.x releases. You will need to get the MAC address of NIC 0 on your publisher MCS server and email licensing@cisco.com to have it rehosted. Be sure to point out that this is an MCS, not a virtualized install.

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for replying but how can you tell this is a vmware install?  The original lic file is as below.  The above was modified by me ...

Its the same mac all the way through.

what does cisco 5.0 mean? does that mean its for version 5 only?  can it not be used on version 7?

Thanks in advance.

The 5.0 is a reference to when DLU enforcement began: CUCM 5.0(1) and isn't relevent to this discussion. The version number only applies to the SW_FEATURE line. As long as the cluster has a LIC file somewhere that shows this, all other LIC files installed are enabled for 7.x releases.

If memory serves, the inclusion of these two bullets implies a VMware-encoded license:

001F291351A82.0 \

There was a checkbox on SWIFT when you activated the PAK asking if this is for a VMware installation. I believe it adds these two fields (which you can't remove since it would invalidate the signature). If you're confident that the MAC is correct and you have tried restarting the Cisco License Manager service (on Network Services page) to no avail then you should open a TAC SR.

Hi there,

I agree with my friend Jonathan that the 5.0 SW_FEATURE is what is wrong with this

picture +5 J-Man! You cannot use a 5.x file on a 7.x build.

Here is a copy of a 7.x Lab license. Please note, that this was used on a MCS not VM build ;
