License file decrypt on CUCM, Unity 9.x
Used to be in the past that License file was a text base file that was created in plain text and signed to avoid tampering. These days License file is encrypted and no way we can know the content of the file.
Since license team is not really very accurate we have to go back and forth several time in many project and looking inside a file was an easy way to detect mistakes.
It is possible now?
Thanks
Alex
Well, I think part of this depends on whether you purchased a new CUCM 9.x or an upgrade from an earlier version. If the later (i.e. upgrade), you do not receive a PAK with the CUCM 9x software order. Instead, you use ELM to migrate existing licenses. If you ordered a new version, then you would likely want to 1st contact the vendor you are working with and then send a note to [email protected] and give them your Cisco Sales Order Number as well as any contract information you have that would go along with the details of the order.

CUCM & Unity - both 8.6 - to 9.1.2 - Refresh upgrade file ? & Reload Sequence
Hi guys,
I have two questions..
I have to update CUCM 8.6.2 (Cluster of 2 ) to 9.1.2
And Unity 8.6.2 ( cluster of 2 ) to 9.1.2
First question,
Do I need the refresh upgrade file For CUCM 8.6.2 before upgrade ?
Do I need the refresh upgrade file For Unity 8.6.2 before upgrade ?
Second question,
From what I know For CUCM I Update PUB First, then Reboot PUB... once done I Update CUCM SUB and Reboot SUB.
For Unity, I think I have to update Unity PUB ( no reboot) then Update Unity SUB ( once both update, I reboot PUB, and when it is UP I reboot Unity SUb )
is that right ?
thanks,Here is the process for migrating licenses:
Upgrade your apps to version 9, you will run in 60 day demo mode
Install ELM and add UCXN and CUCM instances to it
Go through license migration process in ELM
2 files will be generated for license migration one for CUCM and one for UCXN
Send these to [email protected]
Cisco will issue new licenses for version 9 based on what was configured and what you are entities to based on UCSS
My experience is that they don't spend too much comparing to what you are actually entitled to so you may want to need to work with them on manually adjusting anything, i.e. convert Enhanced/Enhnaced Plus to CUWL, etc.

Does Phone NTP Server reference change my licensed files, (CUCM)?
Hi all,
Good day.
I just wanted to know of on my CUCM Admin web page, on PHONE NTP REFERENCE, if adding or deleting NTP's does make my CUCM to re-host my active licensed files.
Because I changed the NTP server on the CLI call manager, (delete it and added one). And now all my licenses are invalid
I have a few more questions.
Which are the differences between of the Phone NTP Reference Server and NTP reference servers (CLI)?
Which one I do not must change?
If mi licenses say "Invalid", what is the worst case scenario could happen with my current configurations of IP Phones/GW/GK/Trunks/CSS?
Thanks in advice.
JohnI assume you are using a UCS server,,,
The license MAC is generated by hashing the following user-configured parameters:
◊ Time zone
◊ NTP server 1 (or ?none?)
◊ NIC speed (or ?auto?)
◊ Hostname
◊ IP Address (or ?dhcp?)
◊ IP Mask (or ?dhcp?)
◊ Gateway Address (or ?dhcp?)
◊ Primary DNS (or ?dhcp?)
◊ SMTP server (or ?none?)
◊ Certificate Information (Organization, Unit, Location, State, Country)
When you change any of the parameters that create the license MAC, the license that you obtained with it becomes invalid. You must request a rehosting of the license to obtain a valid license. The old license continues to work for a 30-day grace period.
To rehost your licenses, you must open a case with the licensing team. Contact the licensing team at [email protected]
During the grace period, you can change the settings back to the licensed values to make your original license valid again. If you need more than 30 days of grace period, change your settings back to the licensed values, then change them back to the new values that you want to use. You will get another 30- day grace period.

CUCM/Unity/Presence Upgrade from 8.6.2 to 9.1
Hello,
I am planning an upgrade of our UC environment this weekend. I've been in contact with Cisco Licensing support all week to get the appropriate license for all the services. For CUCM I have ran the Pre Upgrade License Utility however they keep asking me for the ELM license request.
I've told them several times that ELM gets installed during the upgrade so I cannot provide the information beforehand. They've escalated my ticket to product management however i'm not sure i'll get a response before my maintenance window.
Can I proceed with the upgrade of CUCM/Unity/Presence and resolve the licensing afterwards? will it run in eval mode for a while?
Can someone also confirm this is the proper upgrade order?
CUCM Publisher Upgrade to 9.1
Unity Publisher Upgrade to 9.1
Presence Publisher Upgrade to 9.1
CUCM Subscriber Upgrade to 9.1
Unity Subscriber Upgrade to 9.1
Presence Subscriber Upgrade to 9.1Yes, you get 60 days to solve any kind of licensing issue

How can i check the license file installed on the server CCM 6.1.4
Hi;
i have installed the CCM 6.1.4; and now i want to upgrade to 8.5, but i don't remenber witch type license i have uploaded ( normal or Hospitality).
how can i check the license file installed on this server???
thanks.Hi Matthew,
I think your idea should work just fine, but you will need to work with;
[email protected]
To put together the proper license file due to this change called the "License MAC"
Customer Impact from New Licensing Procedures
Cisco Unified Communications Manager on VMware on Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers uses a different licensing model than Cisco Unified Communications Manager on an MCS server. The MAC address of the NIC card is no longer used to associate the license to the server.
Instead, the license gets associated to a license MAC, which is a 12 digit HEX value created by hashing the following parameters that you configure on the server:
•Time zone
•NTP server 1 (or "none")
•NIC speed (or "auto")
•Hostname
•IP Address (or "dhcp")
•IP Mask (or "dhcp")
•Gateway Address (or "dhcp")
•Primary DNS (or "dhcp")
•SMTP server (or "none")
•Certificate Information (Organization, Unit, Location, State, Country)
This hash of these fields is called the LICENSE MAC
Note : Once there is a change in any of the parameters that creates the License MAC, it will
give you 30 day grace period to generate a new license file for the CM based on new license
MAC.

Hello Experts
I cannot delete existing license file which have wrong license of my cucm , is there any idea?.
ThanksHi
you have to log on your CUCM by SSH ,to delete this file. find the below commands , please:-
file list license * (Lists all uploaded license files)
file delete license * (deletes all uploaded license files)
Y (yes to confirm deletion)
Note: That is for CUCM v 6 , other you have to get open a case from Cisco TAC . As you select the new licenses file , you Cucm will ignore the other old file. There is no problem to worry about.
thank you

I'm having issues with CER 8.x license hope some can help here, customer want to upgrade from CER 2.x on MCS server to 8.5 on UCS server. So I upgraded CER from 2.x to 7.1 to 8.5 on an interim server no license issues at all. When I did DRS back up from Interim server and restored on UCS server I started to have license issues. I called Tac engr who was helping from licensing team and explained what I was doing so she was keep issueing different license files none of them worked. I just want to delete all the license files I have installed so far and start over and see that fixes it. I thought there may be an option under CLI like we have in CUCM but there in no option to delete those lic files . Please can you help me to delete those lice files or do I need to open a TAC case to get root access.
This should be possible since CER 7.x that has implemented the fix for "CSCsk37388 Need a way to delete the licenses"
To do so:1. View / Download / Delete license files uploaded onto the system, using the File Management Utility (found under Tools)
2. After deletion, restart CER service. The License Manager shows the updated license info (i.e. decremented user license count in case of a user license, or evaluation mode in case of a server license). -
Not able to play some of the copyrighted or licensed files
Hi,
Since a month or so, I am not able to play most of my wma files, which were ripped from original audio CDs. The problem is not universally applicable to all of the licensed files because there are some, I am able to play(but that is only a minority, as that
represents music from just one original audio CD).
A few times in between I am able to play these files, but I am unable to find any correlation with any action/task performed. This problem resurfaces again and again.
I tried restoring the computer, but didn't solved it. Restarted, fixed the registry errors, but to no avail.
Please note that I am also having blue screen errors from time to time (one error in a day or two). The blue screen of death comes just randomly and computer restarts.
I also vaguely remember that a few weeks back, I solved this problem by typing some command in command prompt. I tried to find out that web page(from where I got this command), but couldn't. It was may be a registry problem. But, I am not 100% sure about all
this.
Below are the outcomes on different players:
Winamp:- Nothing happens
WMP:- A message comes "The player is not installed correctly, please reinstall the player"
VLC:- Tries to play repeatedly, not able to play.
I recorded the messages of VLC on a verbosity of 2 i.e. debug mode:

How to configure license file for Memory Leak tool and WL Server 9.2?
(I posted to general JRockit forum before realizing existence of this forum which is probably more applicable.)
Here's our problem:
Running latest version of WL 9.2 MP3 and JRockit Mission Control 3.0.1
Able to run Mission Control, and connect to the WL Server and to run View Console with no problems.
I can't get Memory Leak tool to run because it complains about needing a license file.
First I tried with off the shelf WL 9.2 MP3.
Get error:
A license for Memory Leak Detector could not be found on the JRockit at (1.5) weblogic.Server (192).
Error: Can not find component Memory Leak Detector for JRockit * in the license file. Please check http://www.jrockit.com/license for license updates.
So I downloaded license file from JRockit download site - wls92.zip. It contains several files, but no clear instructions on what to do with these files. I copied one of these files "LIC-WLSP92.txt" to my JRockit home as C:\bea\JROCKI~1\jre\license.bea
Tried again. Restarted WL server. Restarted JRockit Mission Control.
Get error: A license for Memory Leak Detector could not be found on the JRockit at (1.5) weblogic.Server (3052).
The license file does not exist at: C:\bea\JROCKI~1\jre\license.bea
Any advise on how to install license or who to contact for help?Installed Mission Control 3.0.3.
Got following message when I attempted to run Memory Leak:
A license for Memory Leak Detector could not be found on the JRockit at (1.5) weblogic.Server (192).
Error: Can not find component Memory Leak Detector for JRockit * in the license file.
Please check http://www.jrockit.com/license for license updates.
I believe that we're using the latest downloads of WebLogic 9.2.x and JRockit.
WebLogic is running using 9.2.3 and JRockit build R27.4.0-90_CR358515-94243-1.5.0_12-20080118-1154-windows-ia2
Contents of C:\bea\jrockit_150_12\jre\license.bea:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<bea-licenses>
<license-group format="1.0" product="JRockit" release="*">
</license-group>
</bea-licenses>
Could WebLogic be misconfigured?
Any diagnostics to help figure out the licensing?
Any other ideas? -

The license file will not be written to disk...
I keep having to write the serial number and user information when I run Final Cut Pro and any other Final Cut Studio apps.
It says: The license file will not be written to disk because the user does not have enough privileges.
So everytime I open a final cut studio program I am asked for this information again before running.
This is REALY annoying. I tried reinstalling, and it wouldn't help.Click here and follow the instructions.

Is there a way to test NIVLM using a dummy license file?
we are testing a situation where an autocad install (Flexlm) crashes a nicely running VLM install. we wan to test this on another server using a dummy license file. just to keep away from the Live environment. Can this be done?
ruud
Solved!
Go to Solution.Thanks Bas, I will do that...
By the way:
Autocad ports are directed to 27002 while NI ports are directed to the default 27000. the "funny" thing is, that after installing autocod NI licensing does not work. then after re-installing nivlm, VLM and autocad work, using the flexlm tool. users still get the message that they are not licensed, but the flexlm lm tool notes the logged on user. the nivlm tool on the other hand does not know the user has klogged on. That could be explained by the fact that in the nivlm tool de licenseserver cannot be started using the Start License Server Button. -
