VCS\VCSE license migration from hardware to VM.

[afadeyev1]

Hi all,

I want to migrate my VCS\VCSE from hardware to virtual.

Both servers are covered by active maintenance contract.

How does licensing work in this case? What is the transfer procedure?

Any cost involved?

Thank you.

And this is also how a Cisco representative told me recently. 

Also makes sense, the "Tandberg" Style VCS Appliance is end of life announced and the

official end of software support for it was Sept. 12! (So 8.6.1 is the last official update!)

So my strong recomandation is to migrate to virtual
