Upgrade Always Requires Upgrade Purchase, Sometimes Requires Upgrade License
Upgrading to Cisco Unity 7.0 requires that you purchase an upgrade regardless of the version from which you are upgrading. However, you are required to register the upgrade and install a new license file only if you are upgrading from Cisco Unity 4.x or earlier to Cisco Unity 7.0. If you are upgrading from Cisco Unity 5.0 to 7.0, you are not required to register the upgrade or to install a Cisco Unity 7.0 license file.
