Hi there,

From CUCM admin, did you try License file upload > View file

Cheers!

Hey Rob,

This is a uber-old thread, but I'd like to resuscitate it.

I have a CUCM 6.x system that is "upgrading" to 8.6 on a UCS platform.  I need to pull the license files off the old cluster, but there's no "file get license" command in CUCM 6.x.

Could I theoretically just copy/paste the output from "View File" into a notepad and save with the .lic name?

Otherwise, do you happen to know where the license folder is on the Linux appliance?  I could use a "file get" if I new the exact folder path to the licenses.

TIA,

Matthew

Hi Matthew,

I think your idea should work just fine, but you will need to work with;

licensing@cisco.com

To put together the proper license file due to this change called the "License MAC"

Customer Impact from New Licensing Procedures

#

Cisco Unified Communications Manager on VMware on Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers uses a different licensing model than Cisco Unified Communications Manager on an MCS server. The MAC address of the NIC card is no longer used to associate the license to the server.

#

Instead, the license gets associated to a license MAC, which is a 12 digit HEX value created by hashing the following parameters that you configure on the server:

#

•Time zone

#

•NTP server 1 (or "none")

#

•NIC speed (or "auto")

#

•Hostname

#

•IP Address (or "dhcp")

#

•IP Mask (or "dhcp")

#

•Gateway Address (or "dhcp")

#

•Primary DNS (or "dhcp")

#

•SMTP server (or "none")

#

•Certificate Information (Organization, Unit, Location, State, Country)

This hash of these fields is called the LICENSE MAC

Note : Once there is a change in any of the parameters that creates the License MAC, it will

give you 30 day grace period to generate a new license file for the CM based on new license

MAC.

Thanks, Rob.  That's what I did.  We'll see what licensing say.
