Emergency Responder 8.5 to 8.6 upgrade - licensing query

Hi,
I've a client looking forward to upgrade CER from 8.5 to 8.6 and wants to know if he needs new license for it.
I believe it's a minor upgrade and he wouldn't need any but he had some license issue in the recent past and wants to be sure before going ahead with it.
I checked CER 8.6 Release notes, couldn't find the info:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cer/8_6/english/release/notes/cer_86.html#wp172986
I also checked CER 8.6 Administration guide but couldn't find this exact info:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cer/8_6/english/administration/guide/e911inst.html#wp1074430
Does anyone know any cisco documentation explaining the license requirement for version 8.5 to 8.6 upgrade?
Thanks in advance,
inner_silence

I have done the CER 8.5 to 8.6 upgrade for two different clients -  no, you do not need a new license for this upgrade.

    So, is there going to be a COP file fix released for Emergency Responder or are we expected to know how to download and install the fixed version of Bash from Red Hat as the solution? For Call Manager, Unity and UCCX, there were COP files released...if this is not going to be the solution for ER, it would be nice if the bug report were clearer on the matter.

    There is one posted under "CER Upgrade Patch" , at least for 10. The bug report is not clear on that at all.
    Turns into: bash-3.2-33.el5_11.4
    after installing the patch.

  • Phone not showing in Cisco Emergency Responder

    We are running Cisco emergency responder 8.5 and have a Cisco WS-C3750-48PS-S Running c3750-ipbasek9-mz.122-55.SE6.bin. Emergency responder is seeing all but one phone plugged into Fa1/0/10. The phone is also not showing up in un-located phones either. That port is configured the same as all other ports. Does anyone have any idea why a particular phone wouldn't populate ER at all? I'm not sure what else to T-shoot. CDP is enabled globally and on that interface.

    I am pending someone else move that phone to a different switch interface so I'll report back when I get some information on that.

    If the problem lies in your computer, im going to guess the problem is the driver for your iPhone.

  • Emergency Responder (E911) colocation?

    I have a client that has a cluster of Call Managers in a european country and would like to use that cluster for an office in Vermont USA and remove a local call manager there.  This vermont location currently uses an Emergency Responder server for Enhanced 911 services.
    Does any one see any issues using the E911 server across a T1 MPLS circuit.?   Does the E911 server need to be colocated with the cluster?  Are there bandwidth and latency requirements across the WAN?
    Are there any other issues you can foresee having the E911 server there?   Will E911 work with SRST in a failure situation?

    Many customer use CER for multiple locations within a CUCM cluster.  You should be able to do this, as for the configuration with SRST, I am not sure.  Since one of the major functions of CER is to identify phones in their physical locations you should be able to configure it such that all emergency calls in the Vermont location would egress their local GW's.
    You may wish to address the CER documentation to verify it meets your needs.  This documentation can be found at the link below:

  • Modify Emergency Responder E-Mail footer

    Is it possible to modify the footer of Emergency Responder Onsite alert notifications at all?  Ideally we would like to remove the text at the bottom of the alert email "For more information Click here".  We have a varitery of individuals receiving the email and they attempt to login to the CER portal to see more info.  We don't have accounts for them.
    This is release 8.6.1.10000-11
    Thanks!

    where you ever able to do this? I was asked the same thing. 

  • Emergency Responder SNMP error

    I have a customer with a publisher, two subscribers, and an emergency responder server. Subscriber number 2 had an IP of 10.21.29.100, but it was moved to another subnet recently and the IP was changed to 10.16.29.100. The new IP is configured in the SNMP settings on the CER server. I do not see the old IP in the lmhosts or hosts files and the customer's DNS/WINS servers do not have this IP associated to the server name. However, we keep getting the following email notification: CER Phone Tracking could not get information[using SNMP] from 1 Cisco CallManager(s)
    Check EventViewer on CERServer for details. When we check the event viewer it shows the following: failed to retrieve SysOid of a device 10.21.29.100. Does anyone know where the CER server could be getting this IP from?

    I think this will resolve your issue:
    - Go to the CERAdmin page > Phone Tracking > SNMP Settings and change the Read
    Community to " public " for all the switches.
    - Then do a " Switch-Port and Phone Update ".
    - Next go to all your Switches and configure the following commands
    snmp community public ro 1
    snmp-server community public ro 1
    If you don't want to make your SNMP community public, you can do this:
    - On the Call Manager could you go to Start > Programs > Administrative Tools >
    Services > SNMP Service.
    - Right Click > Properties > Security. In here " add " the SNMP Community String
    that you need with "Read Only Community Rights ".
    - Once this is done change the SNMP settings on the Switches to match the SNMP settings on
    CCM, and CER

  • Emergency Responder Gateway

    I have the following running and testing in a simulated lab test environment
    2 - Cisco Unified Communication Manager CUCM 8.6 acting as gateway trunk
    1 - Cisco Emergency Responder CER 8.6
    2 - Cisco IP Communicators
    Everything seems to be working except CER does not seem to be presenting the correct ELIN to the simluated PSAP, it is showing my regular phone number or extension instead.  I can see in the CER Call History that it is picking the correct route pattern and ELIN number.
    In the administration guide it says that I must configure the gateway to sends th actual calling party number rather than a generic number.
    I tried changing various "Calling" settings in my outbound calls in trunk configuration without success.  Any ideas?

    Not using any calling party normalization css in particular.  Everything is default.  I simply create none gatekeeper trunk at each CUCM and forward to each other.
    In my route pattern, I have Use Calling Party's External Phone Number Mask checked.
    What is the correct way to do this in order for the other side to see the modifed calling numbers by CER
    Do it at the route group level? route pattern level? gateway/trunk level?
    Not exactly sure which settings at which level overwrites the other.
    Really appreciate your help!

  • Emergency Responder Supporting the US, But Located in the UK

    Hi,
    I have a customer who has two CUCM clusters, one in the US and one in the UK, who wants to consolidate them into a single UK based cluster. He is aware of the signalling, call set-up latency etc. associated with this design model.
    He wants to deploy Emergency Responder to support his US sites.
    Based on the design guidelines and network latency ER will have to reside in the UK along with the rest of the UC applications.
    Is this a supported configuration?
    Does deploying ER in the UK across an MPLS WAN this breach any US regulations?
    Many thanks,
    Mike. 

    As far as the regulations I think it depends on the state. For example our cluster is in Texas and I have to provide the floor with our CER. If your MPLS circuit fails you would probably fail over to the local gateway running CME and a pots line for emergency dialing that would be a local number for that campus or site. If it is only a small office I think it is ok but if you have a bunch of floors you would be breaking the regulation here in Texas. I found this online by doing E911 regulation search:
    Texas - Texas Statute, Chapter 771.060; BUSINESS PROVIDING RESIDENTIAL TELEPHONE SWITCHES. A business service user that provides residential facilities and owns or leases a private telephone switch used to provide telephone service to facility residents shall provide to those residential end users the same level of 911 service that a service supplier is providing to other residential end users. Tarrant County Emergency Communication District has its own specific regulations for E911; Businesses using a publicly or privately owned telephone switch must be able to provide an accurate physical location and phone number for each 911 call. For businesses, location information must be minimally specified to the floor.
    Hope this answers the second part of your question.
    Thanks,

  • Query on Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro Upgrade Licensing

    I am upgrading from Windows XP OEM to Windows 8.1 Upgrade paper license. Does these upgraded paper of  Windows 8.1 would still be valid if I discard OEM machine after 1-2 year? Or upgrade license would be legally invalid once actual machine will be
    down/discarded. My second query is that
    Instead of upgrade If I buy  fresh/new win8.1 paper license through Open License Policy and install on these Windows XP machine, would these licenses still be valid in case machine down/discarded?
                                                                                                                                                                                   

    If you are referring to retail upgrade licensing, that license is separate from the OEM license which validates the upgrade. So if you have a system with Windows XP OEM and you install a retail upgrade on it, then discard the box as part of a refresh to
    a new system which has Windows 7 preinstalled, the upgrade license can be used on the new system once it is removed from the old system.
    Volume Licenses for Windows are only available as upgrades, so the same logic applies to them. In neither case can the upgrade operating system be installed to a system which does not have a qualifying operating system (bare metal).

  • Will an Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Upgrade license work to upgrade an Adobe Acrobat XI Standard installation?

    The buying guide for the XI Pro Upgrade (here - Buying guide | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro) does not list Adobe XI Standard in the left hand column... but I currently have XI Standard and want to to go XI Pro, will this work?

    Hi Mike ,
    There is no such policy to upgrade license from Acrobat XI Standard to Acrobat XI Pro.
    If you have the subscription for the Standard version ,you need to get that cancelled and get a new subscription for Acrobat Pro.
    If you have the retail version or if you have purchased the software ,you can return that and get a new retail version for Acrobat XI Pro.
    For more information ,please contact the technical support.

  • Transferring Coldfusion to a new server - Upgrade license; Can't find old license key HELP!!

         I am currently in the process of porting over my data from another server to a new server. 
    On that server I am running ColdFusionMX7 Standard and want to continue running it on the new one. 
    Coldfusion is currently loaded on the new server through a trial edition but when I try and enter the Serial Number I see on the Coldfusion on the server I am currently operating, it prompts me that "You have entered an upgrade license key (XXXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX), which requires you to enter the license key of your previous version of ColdFusion."
    Do you have any advice on this?  Is there any way to find that old license on the old server?
    Thanks!

  • LR4 upgrade license key works on Desktop but not Laptop?

    Hi,
    I had a fully licensed copy of Lightroom 3 running on my desktop machine (iMac). Once LR4 was released, I downloaded LR4 on that machine to use on a "trial" basis while waiting on my boxed copy of LR4 (upgrade version). Once I get my boxed copy of LR4, I entered the upgrade key from the LR4 box into Lightroom, and (as expected), the software asked for my "previous version" key since what I entered was an upgrade key rather than a full key. I noticed that it pre-populated my LR3 key (I suppose since a licensed version of LR3 had been running on that machine previously). All was good - it took the key and enabled the software.
    So far so good.
    Now, I just bought a new laptop (MacBook Pro). This machine has never had LR3 on it. I installed LR4 and started using it on a trial basis same as my desktop. Once I got my boxed copy of my LR4 upgrade, I enter the key from the LR4 box into Lightroom, and like on my desktop it asked for the key from my "previous version" of Lightroom. Same as before. Only this time the LR3 key was not pre-populated (I suppose since LR3 had never existed on this machine).
    Now, the problem is that when I enter my LR3 key (in conjunction with my LR4 upgrade key) on my laptop, it does not take. There remains a big "X" to the right of my key as if the key is invalid. I have triple checked the value of the key (it is the Serial Number from my LR3 boxed copy) and it is correct, and it is the same one that worked on my desktop.
    Questions:
    - Anyone else know what could explain this?
    - Do I actually have to have an installed version of LR3 on my Laptop in order to use the upgrade key to enable LR4? Or should I just be able to have only LR4 installed, and enter both my LR3 (full) + LR4 (upgrade) license keys? Hopefully the latter..
    - Any other suggestions?
    Thanks
    Chris

    Please disregard.
    It just worked all of a sudden (copying and pasting same S/N, so I don't know what changed...).

  • WLC upgrade license and access point

    Hi everyone,
    I need suggestion regarding wlc 5508  upgrade license. Right now i have 150 license for access points. There will be upgrade around 300 access points. So we are planning to buy new license until the maximum capacity of 5508 (500 licenses).
    Our management ip address is 192.168.50.x/24 . so all the access point are pointed to this management ip address (in the same subnet)
    First question,
    Because there will be an upgrade to around 450 access point. The current management ip address will not be enough.
    Please, give me the  best suggestion ?
    Should i create another management ip address ? or I need to make a bigger subnet using the current management ip address ?
    if i create a bigger ip address, the current access points must be set again yups ?
    Second question
    There will be a new link connected to the wlc, and i want to create new user subnets.
    what is the best practices for this matter ?
    if there are better suggestion, please let me know, i am still learning about wireless
    I have attached the topology.
    Thank you
    Fanie

    For an example, a 5508 can support up to 500 AP's, and the AP's can be in one large subnet or be in many different subnets and or even different locations. As long as the ap knows how to discover the WLC or the ap already had joined the WLC, then the AP's don't have to be on the same subnet as the WLC. The easiest way to have AP's join is to stage them on the same subnet as the WLC management and then move them to a different subnet. I would probably have no more than 100 AP's per subnet, but that's me. Stage some AP's on the management subnet that the WLC is on and then when the AP's join and complete downloading code, change the switch port Vlan and shut and no shut the port. The ap will come back up and join the WLC.

  • Cannot apply Flash Builder 4.7 Premium upgrade license

    We purchased Flash Builder 4.7 Premium upgrade license.  When we entered the new key and then the original 4.0 Premium license key, it said "This serial number is not for a qualifying product. Please try again.".  From the License Certificate paperwork we have, it does show the serial number is for Flash Builder 4.0 Premium.   Could anyone help?

    Hi Jeff, Thanks for your reply.  we purchased the upgrade license directly from Adobe web site and I can only see the order of the upgrade license from https://www.adobe.com/account/account-orders.html.
    The original Flash builder 4.0 Premium was purchased through a reseller our company normally use back in 2010.  The Software license certificate shows TLP 5.0 LICENSE PROGRAM - CORPORATE.  We do have either 4 or 6 seat license.   We only have 1 developer left for this project so only 1 upgrade license was purchased.
    Does our Flash builder 4.0 premium license qualify for the upgrade offer?  If not how do we upgrade?

  • CS6 Upgrade License

    I know that Adobe has stated that upgrade licenses from CS3/4 to CS6 will only be available till the end of 2012, but I wonder if this just means that you can't buy them from this point on, or if an upgrade you bought earlier will be void after this date, even if it has never been opened/used.
    Would an upgrade license which was bought before that date still work?

    Thanks for the quick reply!
