need upgrade from CUCM 7 at hardware server to 9.x or 10.x at VM

[Support Albakom]

Hi,

need some hints how to upgrade a hardware CUCM in Version 7 to a virtualized platform in version 9.x or better 10.x

Is that possible? How to do that? How to handle licenses?

Hi,

Yes, u can do the upgrade from CUCM 7 to 9.

For licenses, u need  to follow the points 

a.  Upload all the unused PAK to CUCM 7 prior to upgrading to 9.

b. Run the LCU 9.1.2 tool on PC which has reachability to Publisher.  The same u can download

c.The file needs to be shared with licensing team for getting Licneses for CUCM 9 which is on ELM[enterprise license manager].You also need to have ESW and UCSS contract for doing major upgrades.

regds,
