Migrate/Upgrade all of your existing pre 9.x Callmanager licenses & migrate to 9.x.

Here are the upgrade/migration steps:
Step 1: From the License Management > License Planning page in Enterprise License Manager, click the Upgrade Licenses button.
Step 2: The Upgrade Licenses wizard window appears. The first step involves choosing the product type. From the Choose Product

Type section, select the type of product to upgrade from the drop-down menu. Click Next.

Step 3: The Choose Product Instances section appears. To upgrade a product instance, select it in the Available Product Instances
window and click the arrow to move it to the Product Instances to Upgrade window. Click Next. The only products that appear in the
Available Product Instances table are those that have been upgraded from a previous release and have not yet had their licenses migrated.
Step 4: The Specify License Counts section appears. Select the appropriate Recommendation Mode from the drop-down list to view the
recommended license counts as either User Connect Licenses (UCL) or Cisco Unified Workshop Licenses (CUWL).
Step 5: In the License Allocation table, edit the Adjust Recommended Count  column and click Save to save your change for that license type.
You may also choose to run a compliance check by clicking the Run Compliance Check button, or reset the license values by clicking the Reset

Values button. Once all license count values have been updated, click Next.

Clicking the arrow next to each license type reveals additional information on that license type. Caution. The upgrade process can be completed only
once per Unified CM product instance. You will not be able to upgrade any remaining DLUs on the selected product instances in the future.
Step 6: The Summary and Next Steps section appears. In this section you can view and save a summary of the changes you made. To view the
summary,  click View Summary. A default name for the summary also appears in the  Name field using the format -add- format.  Instructions for placing your order and fulfilling your licenses also  appear in this section. Click Finish & Generate Request
Step 7: The License Migration Request and Next Steps window appears. Copy the  selected text to your clipboard or click Save it to a file on your  computer.
Step 8: Select License Migration Portal under Step 2 and paste the copied text  in the designated field or select the saved file from your computer.
Step 9: Click Close to return to the License Planning page
Step 10: The license migration plan now appears in the table on the License Planning page.

Hey Bart,

did you manage to find the answer to your questions? can you please share your insight?

Thanks

I used

R-UCM-9.0-SW-K9=

both media seemed to be the same, but Tac told me to use R-UCM-9.0-SW-K9=

They told me to contact sales rep to find out the differences.

Thank you Bart,

Also, did you happen to upgarde CUP too?

how did you go about licensing side of things? I suppose we need to upload all the DLUs first, and then they get converted to ELM?

One more thing, You will not need any license before you upgrade.

The only license you need is the one that is genarated after you run the tool on new call manager ELM.

I ordered all upgrades through the PUK tool so upgrading the license was easy and all was done in few clicks on the cisco licensing page.  I hope this helps.

Also, the licensing tool has nice help describing the licenses.

Thank You Bart,

I'll give it a go.

Hi Bart,

Great work here my friend! +5 for this excellent

contribution here @ CSC

Cheers!
