Solved: Unity express 7.1.4 License Issue

carlos_canepa_2 · ‎02-23-2010

Hi I'm using this new version over an AIM CUE, that comes allready installed in the module

The problem that i recongnize,is that the VM-mailboxes are in Evaluation state, i activate the vm-mailbaxes via this command through aim-cue cli:

license activate voicemail mailboxes 25.

So the VM are going to work for a period of time (Evaluation), so i check for cisco documentation, and it comes that it should be installed if you buy the license for the VM mailboxes, really don´t know if they bought that license, should i have a pack number for it? so i can register and apply the lic file.}

FYI:

CUEGP1# sh license all

Hi Carlos,

Yes, you would require a PAK# to receive the "Permanent" licenses

Obtaining New or Additional Licenses

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/unity_exp/rel7_1/Licensing/Using_CSL.html#wp1101645

From this excellent doc;

Hope this helps!

Dear Rob,

Kindly I have also fall in the same issue

I found a paper included with the CUE module AIM2-CUE-K9 states that I have a default license of 5 mailboxes and 2 ports

And told that I can obtain this license without any needs to enter any codes

the card is pre-installed with 7.1.4

So I have tried to use www.cisco.com/go/license and try the link at the bottom of the page as described in the Doc, but when entering the PID and SN, it ask for device identification which I don't understand what it is mean.

But there is no PAK included at all

So How I can obtain this default license for my card ?

Also I have tried downgrading to CUE 7.0.3 to obtain the default 12 mailboxes but it give signature error when starting to download the *.pkg file

So please advise how to obtain my card license and if there any method to downgrade to 7.0.3 ??

Thanks a lot

Dear Bob,

I am also facing this issue. I got a permanent license for my CUE 7.1.7 and i have uploaded it. It was successfully installed. Although the permanent license is successfully installed, the license type is not changin to PERMANENT and is still showing in as EVALUATION. I have activated my required IVR's, Voice mail boxes and ports. I have reloaded my unity express and I am still facing this issue. The show license all is displayed below for your reference after uploading the permanent license.

Hi Thirruselvaa,

When you loaded the licenses what did the area highlighted below show?

Using CLI Commands to Install Licenses

After you obtain a license file from Cisco's licensing portal and copy it to a FTP or TFTP server, use the following CLI commands to install the license. Only the use of FTP is shown below.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. license install ftp://username:password@ip_address/path/license_file

2. reload

3. enable

4. show license all

5. show license in-use

6. show license status application

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1 license install ftp://username:password@ip_address/path/license_file.

Use this command to install all of your licenses. As shown in the following example (which is truncated for easier readability), the command initiates several actions that result in either the printing of an end user license agreement with prompts to accept the agreement (for extension licenses only) or messages indicating that the license is installed. When a license is successfully installed, a message will confirm the installation and state whether or not the licensed feature is present in the current image.

service-module# license install ftp://192.1.1.53/lic/nme-159/nme-159.lic

Installing...Feature:VMIVR-IVR-SESS...Successful:Supported

License Note:

Application will evaluate this change upon next reload

Installing...Feature:VMIVR-VM-MBX...Successful:Supported

License Note:

Application will evaluate this change upon next reload

Installing...Feature:TCV-USER...Successful:Supported

License Note:

Application will evaluate this change upon next reload

Installing...Feature:VMIVR-PORT...Successful:Supported

License Note:

Application will evaluate this change upon next reload

4/4 licenses were successfully installed

0/4 licenses were existing licenses

0/4 licenses were failed to install

The installation process does not install duplicate licenses. The following message is displayed when duplicate licenses are detected:

Installing...Feature:xxx-xxx-xxx...Skipped:Duplicate

Note Install all of your licenses before continuing to the next step.

Step 2 reload

Use this command to reboot the module:

service-module# reload

Step 3 enable

Use this command to enter Privileged Exec Mode:

service-module# enable

Enter Your Password If Prompted.

Step 4 show license all

Use this command to display a summary of all of the licenses installed on your module:

service-module# show license all

StoreIndex:  0  Feature: VMIVR-PORT                        Version: 1.0

 License Type: Permanent

 License State: Active, In Use

 License Count: 4 / 4

 License Priority: Medium

License Store: Evaluation License Storage

StoreIndex:  0  Feature: VMIVR-VM-MBX                      Version: 1.0

 License Type: Evaluation

 License State: Active, Not in Use, EULA not accepted

     Evaluation total period:  8 weeks  4 days

     Evaluation period left:  8 weeks  4 days

 License Count: 600 / 0

 License Priority: None

License Store: Evaluation License Storage

StoreIndex:  1  Feature: VMIVR-PORT                        Version: 1.0

 License Type: Evaluation

 License State: Inactive

     Evaluation total period:  8 weeks  4 days

     Evaluation period left:  8 weeks  4 days

 License Count: 60 / 0

 License Priority: None

License Store: Evaluation License Storage

StoreIndex:  2  Feature: VMIVR-IVR-SESS                    Version: 1.0

 License Type: Evaluation

 License State: Active, Not in Use, EULA not accepted

     Evaluation total period:  8 weeks  4 days

     Evaluation period left:  8 weeks  4 days

 License Count: 60 / 0

 License Priority: None

Note If your module was shipped with Cisco Unity Express 7.1 or later, the output will display CSL-based evaluation licenses, as shown above.

Step 5 show license in-use

Use this command to display information about the licenses that are in use on your module:

service-module# show license in-use

StoreIndex:  0  Feature: VMIVR-PORT                        Version: 1.0

 License Type: Permanent

 License State: Active, In Use

 License Count: 4 /4

 License Priority: Medium

StoreIndex:  1  Feature: VMIVR-VM-MBX                      Version: 1.0

 License Type: Permanent

 License State: Active, In Use

 License Count: 5 /5

 License Priority: Medium

Step 6 show license status application application-name

Use this command to display information about the applications that are installed on your module. If you do not supply an application name, information is displayed for voice mail and IVR.

service-module# show license status application

voicemail enabled: 4 ports, 4 sessions, 5 mailboxes

ivr disabled, no activated ivr session license available

Cheers!

Hi Hytham,

Have you tried

The UDI is printed on a label located on the back of most Cisco hardware devices or on a label tray visible on the front panel of field-replaceable motherboards. The UDI can also be viewed via software using the show license udi command in privileged Exec mode. The UDI has two main components: the product ID (PID) and the serial number (SN).

Just to check....you have fired everything up already? I wouldn't think for a newly ordered 7.1 system that any licenses would need to be installed

as they should be pre-loaded.

Cheers!

Rob

Hythim Ali El Hadad · ‎08-20-2010

Hi Rob,

Thanks a lot for your reply

Yes I have a new card,but don't find any pre-loaded license installed

As per this link:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/unity_exp/rel7_1/Licensing/Using_CSL.html#wp1101645

I understand that I must obtain the new license with the PAK

But I didn't find any PAK included with the CUE module, also I have allready got the PID & SN using "sh inventory"

But I have stucked here,

So I need to know how to activate this preloaded license ?

Thanks a lot again
