Chapter 6 Managing Licenses

Migrating Licenses

•Migrating Licenses from Cisco Unity, page 6-3

•Migrating Licenses from Unity Connection 8.6 and Earlier Releases, page 6-3

Note Before starting the migration or uploading the legacy license information, you must configure Unity Connection with the PLM server. For more information on configuring Unity Connection with the PLM server, see “Add Product Instance” section in “Operation” chapter of Cisco Prime License Manager User Guide, Release 10.5(1), available at: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/plm/10_5_1/userguide/CPLM_BK_UD11 56AD_00_user-guide-rel-1051/CPLM_BK_UD1156AD_00_user-guide-rel-1051_chapter_010.html#C PLM_TK_AA222E94_00.

Migrating Licenses from Cisco Unity

Unity Connection 7.x and later can use the existing license information in Cisco Unity when migrating from Cisco Unity 4.x or later to Unity Connection 7.x and later. This license information helps to enable the Unity Connection features.

For instructions on migrating from Cisco Unity 4.x or later to Unity Connection 10.x, see the Migrating from Cisco Unity 4.x and Later to Unity Connection 7.x and Later, page 5-4section.

Migrating Licenses from Unity Connection 8.6 and Earlier Releases

You can use either of the following methods to migrate licenses from Unity Connection 8.6 and earlier releases when upgrading to later releases of Unity Connection:

•Using COBRAS Tool, page 6-3

•Using Upgrade Process, page 6-4

After uploading the legacy license information, Unity Connection is configured and synchronized with the PLM server. Once the synchronization is completed at the PLM server, the legacy license information for the new version of Unity Connection is sent to the PLM server for migration. Now, you can migrate licenses through the PLM server.

Warning If you are upgrading from Unity Connection 8.6 or earlier to later releases, you must install 8.6 licenses before you perform the upgrade. This is because the installed license information considered as legacy license data is required to migrate licenses. After you upgrade to Unity Connection 9.x and later releases, you can not apply legacy licenses using the Prime License Manager.

Using COBRAS Tool

To Migrate Licenses Using COBRAS tool

Step 1 Download and start the COBRAS export tool from:

http://www.ciscounitytools.com/Applications/General/COBRAS/COBRAS.html.

Step 2 In the License Details for Migration to Unity Connection 10.x and later field, select Backup Options tab. To export the legacy license data from Cisco Unity, check the License Details for migration to Unity Connection 10.x and later check box.
