CUCM Lab - Trial license longer than 60 days?

[Benoit Lambert]

I want to build a CUCM lab at home and  I'm wondering if there is a home license that lasts longer then 60 days.

Hi Benoit,

Unfortunately there is no such option

Hi Benoit,

As Manish said it is not possible to extend that period, what you can do is once you install CUCM take a VM snapshot of the machine and at the time you hit 60 days mark revert to snapshot to keep it working.

If you goto cisco.com/go/licenses, you can sign up for a demo license for 6 months...  I did recently for cucm 9x for my lab  --- It was good for a period from 01/16/2017-07/15/2017.

Are you a Partner? You could just buy the NFR Kit. It is what I do.

I agree with Gregory, and now that I think about it, we have a couple of ways...

1) Buy an NFR kit. 

2) 60 day default license (comes by default on 9.x).   Load your vm and take a snap shot.  After 60 days, restore the snap shot.

3) Load your vm with the 6 month trial, (cisco.com/go/license) and click on demo/eval licenses, and take a snapshot.  After 6 months, you can restore or get a new trial license...
