CUCM upgrade on MCS server to 7.15 to support CP-8831

[Sean Poure]

Does anyone remember if a license is required to upgrade from CUCM 7.1(4) to 7.1(5) on the same MCS server. The reason  for this upgrade is support for the new CP-8831 Conference phone. It seems CUCM needs to be at least on 7.1(5) to be able to register CP-8831.

No, your license will be valid with that upgrade.

Bear in mind that you also need to apply the latest DevPack to support the 8831, the upgrade to 7.1(5) is not enough.

Hi Sean,

for minor upgrades , you do not require any license. If u are upgrading to CUCM 8/9 then, u require a license.

Thank you both for a quick response.

• Do you know what is the minimum SU is required to support CP-8831
• Is There a COP file required from 7.1(4) to 7.1(5) and SU

Hi Sean,

you can upload the device pack cmterm-devicepack7.1.5.36121-2.cop.sgn

As I mentioned, what you really need, is a DevPack

www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/compat/devpack_comp_mtx.html

But it never hurts to install one of the latest SUs to be on a stable release, review the RNs/README for them. Also the README for the DevPack you'll install.

Take into account FW changes.

No COP file required.
