Solved: Licensing Pooling between Unity 5.X and 7.X

Erik Peterson · ‎01-27-2009

Is this supported? The UNITY-LIC_POOL part doesn't seem to be an option for either 5.X or 7.X?

Tray Stoutmeyer · ‎01-28-2009

This doc here says it's an option on Unity 7x.

And here is one for 5.x

All you have to do is search on Unity 5.x and Unity 7.x license pooling on cisco.com to find it.

Thanks. The Dynamic Configuration Tool only lists UNITY-LIC-POOL under UNITY-LIC-UPG-4.X. It doesn't appear under UNITY7-LIC-UPG, our inside sales guy is having difficutlty ordering.

Hi Erik,

Did you sort this in the end? I have the same situatuion going on next week and having checked Cisco documentation I think that pooling between 5.x and 7.x is supported as long as the servers are in the same Forest,share a corporate directory and are licenced for pooling with digital networking enabled between them. This is the URL for the White Paper concerning licencing:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/unity/white/paper/culicenses.html#wp38770

Let me know if you have got this working and if there are any gotchas I need to look out for.

Thanks,

Paul.

We did implement it, they were same forest and domain, there were no issues at all.
