Upgrade CUEAC 8.6 to 9.1 remote server

Question

Hi,
We have CUEAC 8.6 (physical server) and we'd like upgrade to 9.1 (virtual machine).
I have checked the upgrade process (http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucmac/arc/CUACEE_91110WAG.pdf) but the process describe the upgrade on the old server and we like upgrade (keeping the same configuration) to virtual machine.
do you know the process for install the version 9.1 and retrieve the configuration from the version 8.6?
How workaround I though convert the physical server in virtual and then upgrade (OS, SQL and finally AC), but I don't know what happen with the licenses. what do you think? thanks a lot.
Regards,
Alberto

Answer 1

Hi,
I have captured the info which says:
Licensing Your New Server
Each new Publisher server requires a new license file.
Immediately after installation your new server will run for a 5-day evaluation period without a license.
You can extend this period to 60 days.
To obtain a new full (purchased) license file, contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) with
either:
• The SO number for the software you purchased
• The license activation code (LAC) for your previous installation
and request a re-host. Cisco TAC will reset the LAC, which will allow you to generate a new permanent
license
