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 5-4 section.
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.
