VCS\VCSE license migration from hardware to VM.

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.

Hi,
Regarding Cisco VCS, in order to migrate from hardware to virtual machine, you will need to purchase a new license to make the transfer. These are the partnumbers you need:
R-VMVCS-C-M-K9
For HW Migration to E-Delivery Virtual VCS Control Only
R-VMVCS-E-M-K9
For HW Migration to E-Delivery Virtual VCS Expressway Only
Please, contact your Cisco representative to get further information.
After you purchase the license, the license rehost from appliance to VM will be made by a specific Cisco team, not the Global License Operation team, this is a different rehost process. You will have to send your request to [email protected], this team will provide all the instruction to rehost your VCS license properly.
I hope this help.

  • License migration from Flex Builder 3 to Flex Builder 4

    I am ready to purchase a license for Flex Builder but am hesitant to do so.  It appears that Flex Builder 3 is available now with Flex Builder 4 coming within some time period.  If I buy a Flex Builder 3 license now will I be entitled to Flex Builder 4?   If not, should I wait for FB 4 to become available?  What is the anticipated ship date of that product?
    Neil

    From our FAQ
    Q: If I purchase Flex Builder 3, am I eligible for an upgrade to Flash Builder 4?
    A: Adobe has not yet announced the ship date of Flash Builder 4. To be eligible for a free of charge upgrade to Flash Builder 4, you will need to purchase maintenance along with your purchase of Flex Builder. You can purchase maintenance with your Flex Builder 3 Standard purchase for an additional $99 US which makes you eligible for a free-of-charge copy of Flash Builder 4 Standard edition when it ships. You can purchase maintenance with your Flex Builder 3 Pro purchase for an additional $299 US. To purchase maintenance, you will need to buy through an Adobe reseller. In the US, please contact CDW at 800-800-4239.

  • VCS HW to VM license migration

    We recently purchased 4 x LIC-VVCS-E-M-PAK and 4 x LIC-VVCS-C-M-PAK so we could migrate all our call licensing from VCS HW appliances to VMs, however when I go to redeem one of the PAKs I got for the VCS-C, it's only showing the following as available:
    LIC-VVCS-C-M-PAK
    1
    LIC-VCSE-100 
    1
    LIC-VCS-GW 
    1
    Shouldn't it allow me to enter the serial number of a HW applicance to migrate from, then give me the relevant call licenses also?  Has anyone else had experience migrating HW licenses to VM who could maybe shed some light on this?

    Hello Nick -
    Please reference the below discussion, you'll need to email a certain group with Cisco to process the request to rehost the appliance option keys to the VM.  I'm sad to say that there isn't any automatic process in the background that does this when one purchases a migration for any product, it's all manual, and done by the customer most of the time.

  • Migrate from server core 2008 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes to server core 2012 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on new san hardware

    We are getting ready to migrate from server core 2008 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on an iscsi san to server core 2012 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on a new iscsi san.
    I've been searching for a "best practices" article for this but have been coming up short.  The information I have found either pertains to migrating from 2008 r2 to 2012 r2 with failover cluster volumes on the same hardware, or migrating
    to different hardware without failover cluster volumes.
    If there is anyone out there that has completed a similar migration, it would be great to hear any feedback you may have on your experiences.
    Currently, my approach is as follows:
    1. Configure new hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on new SAN with new 2012 r2 hostnodes and 2012 r2 management server
    2. Turn off the virtual machines on old 2008 r2 hyper-v hostnodes
    3. Stop the VMMS service on the 2008 r2 hostnodes
    4. copy the virtual machine files and folders over to the new failover cluster volumes
    5. Import vm's into server 2012 r2 hyper-v.
    Any feedback on the opertain I have in mind would be helpful.
    Thank you,
    Rob

    Hi Rob,
    Yes , I agree with that "file copy " can achieve migration.
    Also you can try "copy cluster wizard " :

  • Hardware Migration from one server to another server

    Hi All,
    We require more information pertaining to hardware migration from one server to another server without changing OS & DB.
    We are preparing installation guideline document for the same.
    Has anybody came across similar scenario?.
    Any pointers on this will be highly appreciated.
    Regards
    Tushar Vhora

    usually you don't have to care too much about the tools used (r3ldctl = R3load control | r3szchk = R3 size checker | r3load = R3 Load), because you normally use r3setup/sapinst to fulfill the copy/migration. r3setup/sapinst will call the appropriate tools with the needed options...
    -> which release are we talking about?
    -> which os and which database do you use?
    -> how big is your source database?
    -> do you have any time issues while making the copy?

  • Migrate from Server 2003 (no Exchange, single server) to SBS 2011

    Are there any Technets or other Microsoft documentation on migrating from Server 2003 (no Exchange, single server) to SBS 2011?  I understand it is possible, but I would like confirmation and some documentation before purchasing the appropriate hardware
    and licenses.
    Thanks,
    Doug
    Doug Orr

    Hi Doug,
    In general, the migration is the similar with migrating process from SBS 2003. In addition, also have main
    difference.
    “The main difference is that you don’t have to remove the source and that you have to follow the migration
    instructions as the SBS migration wizard will not launch.”
    You can get above description from following similar thread. Please refer to.

  • 4.6C migration from HP-UX to Linux

    Hi all,
    we are planning to move the current 4.6C environment from HP-UX to Linux platform. we need help with a couple of things that are posted below.
    1. Is 4.6c compatible on RH Linux 11.31.
    2. Do we need a seperate liscense for Linux or can we use the existing one.
    3. Can we install a fresh installation of 4.6C on linux and import the DB from teh present working environment. Is this the way it is done.
    4. Can we upgrade the DB from Oracle 9.2 to 10.4 due the migration process.
    Your hellp will be appreciated.

    Dear
    1. Is 4.6c compatible on RH Linux 11.31.
    2. Do we need a seperate liscense for Linux or can we use the existing one.
    3. Can we install a fresh installation of 4.6C on linux and import the DB from teh present working environment. Is this the way it is done.
    4. Can we upgrade the DB from Oracle 9.2 to 10.4 due the migration process.
    1. There is no Red Hat 11.31, only HP-UX 11.31 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (or 4).
    2. After migration, you hardware key changed, you need to renew your license. You do not need a separate one
    3. for OS/DB Migration, check: http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration
    4. There is no Oracle 10.4, only 10.2.0.4 ! If you want to use Oracle 10.2.0.4 you'd need the 46C_EX2 kernel
    You should also take care, that native installation for 46c is 32bit only (for Linux). However, we have a prepared 46c installation CD for 64bit installations on linuxx86_64 (with kernel 46c_EXT -> later upgrade to 46c_EX2). You can request this CD via an OSS call on BC-OP-LNX-X64.

  • Migration from iPhoto '08 to Photos

    Hi,
    2 main questions:
    migration from iPoto '08 to Photos
    preservation of printed media
    Information:
    Hardware: MacBook Pro (Fall 2008, Early 2009) 15-inch with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor a and 2GB memory
    OS: Mac OSX Leopard (v 10.5.8)
    Currently I am still using my outdated MacBook Pro with Leopard running on it. Since I have troubles with ordering Printed Apple Photobooks out of iPhoto. It is not supported anylonger. And since I have no new updates and new software, I decided to upgrade. Both hardware and sotware.
    I decided to upgrade to the latest OS (Yosemite) which should be supported by Apple.
    So I ordered a new SSD to replace the hard disk and 8GB to replace my memory. With these new pieces it should run Yosemite easily.
    I also orderded a license and DVD for Snow Leopard.  I will install Snow Leopard on my SSD, to have a clean install. Then I will update to the latest possible version of Snow Leopard via Software Update. Afterwards I will upgrade to Yosemite via the Mac Store.
    So I know how to handle the OS upgrade. But what about my iPhoto migration...
    This is quite some old version: iPhoto '08 (v7.x). Offcourse I will backup my complete iPhoto Libarary before doing anything.
    But should I only import my '08 Library when I have Yosemite running (I believe iPhoto '11 is included)? And then
    Or will this not work? Do I need to import my '08 Library with an extra first step: import it in iPhoto when I have Snow Leopard running, then in iPhoto in Yosemite, and then in Photos in Yosemite?
    And what about my Printed Photobooks I already created. Will they still be present in Photos? I spend a lot (and I mean a lot) of time creating some photobooks in iPhoto '08. I do not want to loose them in Photos. I want to order them at Apple, but iPhoto '08 won't let me. I can not find a minimum version of iPhoto required by Apple to order printed products. Perhaps I can still order with iPhoto '11?
    Thanks in advance,
    Sander Fiers

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network, Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • Migrating from AIX to Windows

    Hi all,
    We are considering in a SAP R/3 4.6c to ECC6 Upgrade, the option to migrate from AIX to Windows OS.
    We heard that this option is not so usual.
    - Could you tell us some feedback and recommendation about it?
    - What kind of issues will we face?
    Thanks for your help,
    Chris

    > We are considering in a SAP R/3 4.6c to ECC6 Upgrade, the option to migrate from AIX to Windows OS.

    Usual? What is "usual"?
    > - Could you tell us some feedback and recommendation about it?
    > - What kind of issues will we face?
    This depends heavily (if not only) on your environment. Some thoughts:
    - Windows is little endian whereas AIX is big endian; this may affect connected software (non-SAP software, filesystem transfers etc.)
    - additional software plus licenses may become necessary (cluster, backup...)
    - do you have enough knowledge about Windows (+ its internals) as you have on AIX? Windows is not "easier" by default just because you have a mouse to click... (even if everyone thinks it is). Windows administration is totally different to any *nix (you may need to change scripts, consider updating regularly, think about problems you didn't have before (Virus, Worms) etc.)
    - Hardware for Windows is usually cheaper than Power based hardware for AIX
    - Windows licenses (+ CALs) must be bought
    Just as another thought: Did you consider running Linux instead? You will use the same (cheaper) hardware with a more common environment (if you come from AIX)?

  • Windows server 2012: migration from 2012 standard evaluation version to 2012R2

    Hello.
    Is it possible то migrate
    FROM: windows server 2012 standard evaluation
    TO: windows server 2012R2 standard
    And if it is possible then "how to"?
    Activation product key for 2012 is NOT available. 
    Activation product key (MAK, "open licence") for 2012R2 is available. 
    The key for 2012R2 does not "open" 2012 evaluation version.
    Thanks.

    Upgrade means moving from your existing operating system release to a more recent release, while staying on the same hardware. For example, if your server is running Windows Server 2012, you can upgrade it to Windows Server 2012 R2. You
    can upgrade from an evaluation version of the operating system to a retail version, from an older retail version to a newer version, or, in some cases, from a volume-licensed edition of the operating system to an ordinary retail edition.

  • IMac CPU3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB, Extremely slow and repeatedly "out of Memory" since migration from Mountain Lion to Mavericks

    Dear Apple Support Community.
    As mentioned by a number of users reporting the same problem, my 2009 iMac CPU3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB RAM, has become extremely slow and repeatedly "out of Memory" since it was migrated from Mountain Lion to Mavericks (OS 10.9 then OS 10.9.1).
    I have already run CleanMyMac, deleted 5GB of useless stuffs, which did not translate into any improvement. Following the advices collected in other Apple Support Community threads, I have applied EtreCheck the outcome of which is provided below.
    For information, I have also upgraded my 2011 MacBook CPU2.3 GHz Core i7, 8GB which became only a bit slower than before, sometimes freezing which it almost never did before. However, I am used to the fact that Mac get usually slower and more prompt fo freeze after upgrading to a more recent OS.
    Both my 2009 iMac and my 2011 MacBook have F-Secure installed. So the problem with the 2009 IMac is unlikly to be due to the presence of F-Secure. Interestingly, the few abnormalities found by Etrecheck were exacly identical before I ran CleanMyMac. There are two more findings (mentioned below) since I ran CleanMyMac on the 2009 iMac, which again didn't improve the problem.

    Practically:
    The iMac can work slowly with only one software e.g. either Mail or Safari or Firefox, but still the below "out of Memory" message occurs about every 3 minutes.
    Aperture has becomre to slow to be useable
    If trying to write a mail (with Mail) while Safari or Firefox is open, then the "out of Memory" message occurs about every 20 seconds so I need to check on "Resume" several times per minute.
    Conclusions
    From the above, unless anyone in the Apple Support Community proves to be able to identify a specific problem leading to a way to find a cure, I tend to conclude that Mavericks is not suitable for computers operating with a Core 2 Duo CPU even with a 8GB of RAM.
    Unless I missed something, I did not see any warning from Apple Computer Inc. informing their customers they should refrain from upgrading Core 2 Duo Computers.
    The only solution I see so far is to downgrade from Mavericks to Mountain Lion. And the Apple Support Community would confirm that it is the only solution, I would appreciate to get your guidance on how to proceed.
    Intended action plan
    Migrate the above 2009 iMac to a 2014 Mac Mini Server operating on Mavericks to ensure that no data may be lost while downgrading to Montain Lion.
    Provided the above downgrading operation is successful, assign this 2009 iMac to partial retirement e.g. Mail, Skype, iTunes  and DVD player.
    In advance, I would like to thank the Apple Community for helping me either i) finding a cure to the problem, ii) or confirming that Mavericks cannot operate properly on Core 2 Duo computers, iii) and in such a case, guiding me on how to downgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Yours sincerely

    ... what anti-virus would you recommend using?
    Use what is already included with OS X. It already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.

  • ACS migration from 4.1.1.23 to 5.6

    Dear Team.
    We need to upgrade an ACS 4.1.1.23 to a new ACS 5.6. This means a data migration from ACS 4.1.1.24 to 5.6
    The migration guide says that the migration utility must be run on a 4.1.1.24 to check the DB integrity and make some modifications.
    Our client has an ACS 4.1.1.23.
    In the Cisco Download page for ACS 4.1.1.24 there isn't any acumulative patch to 4.1.1.24. Anyone has any idea how we can upgrade the ACS 4.1.1.23 to .24?
    After this patch will be applied, we will backup data from 4.1.1.24 to migration server 4.1.1.24 with demo license (this file exist on Download Center)
    Thanks.

    You can upgrade to 4.2 and then to 5.6
     ACS 4.2 with the recovery DVD, no need to upgrade to ACS 4.1.1.24 and then to 4.2.
    Remember to make a backup before the upgrade.
    There is a feature that allows you to restore any ACS 4.1 backup into ACS 4.2.
    "Before you begin any upgrade procedure, we recommend that you back up your existing data and configuration. When, upgrading do a re-image of ACS 4.2 and then restore the ACS 4.1 configuration."

  • How do I continue a migration from iPhoto to Photos that was interrupted part way through?

    I began a VERY large migration (40k+ photos) from iPhoto (v9.6.1) to Photos on an external hard drive.  I have a MacBook Pro with Yosemite 10.10.3 that is connected to a network that has a Synology network drive.  The iPhoto library is on that drive and I was wanting to create the Photos library also on the drive.
    The process was very slow and has taken days, but that is expected and it was definitely making progress (I could see the files being added over time). Unfortunately, the transfer was interrupted part way through (my kid closed my laptop, which disconnected it from the network). I tried to start it over with the partially created Photos library folder as the destination, hoping that it would pick up where it left off.  It worked until it reached the same files that were previously created. The migration stopped at that point, and the following error appeared: "Photos was unable to make a copy of your library before preparing it. There were file system or hardware issues…”  I assume the inability to overwrite previous files with the same names was the case of the "file system or hardware issues."
    Is there any way to either continue the migration from where I left off, or maybe even manually move the rest of the files over? Or do I have to wipe out the entire partially migrated Photos library and start over?

    You probably will have to start over
    And I suspect that you are incorrect - as far as I know NO NAS is formatted Mac OS extended - A NAS is basically a Linux computer with no display or keyboard that uses a Linux format drive - a headless computer
    Unless you have a directly connected drive correctly formatted you are cgoing to continue to have issues - your photos and your choice what risk you put them at but you are treading in very dangerous water with you set up - is it documented not to work and similar set ups have been reported here hundreds of times as causing major problems and losing lots of stuff

  • Data migration from ASE 11.9.2 to 16.0

    Hi all,
    I'm at a customer site running Sybase ASE 11.9.2 on Windows 2000. I wish to migrate their set of databases to ASE 15.7 or 16.0 hosted on Server 2012 (for obvious reasons). I've downloaded and installed ASE 16.0 developer edition on a new Windows 2012 virtual server and and am moving to the database migration stage....
    From what I have read, a single step migration from 11.9.2 to 15.7 is possible, thus I assume a migration to 16.0 might also be possible.
    What I have done:
    i) Dumped the existing database and transaction logs from ASE 11.9.2 to some files on disk.
    ii) Created a datastore for data and logs and created a database with 'load on' the ASE 16.0 environment
    iii) loaded a 11.9.2 database and transaction logs into the blank database on ASE 16.0 environment (successful)
    iv) run an 'online database DBNAME' (failing)
    From what I have read, schema conversion etc. occurs during the online database action, not the initial load. This is the error i'm getting:
    1> online database Cust201213
    2> go
    Started estimating recovery log boundaries for database 'Cust201213'.
    Database 'Cust201213', checkpoint=(677861, 3), first=(677861, 3), last=(677861, 3).

    Started ANALYSIS pass for database 'Cust201213'.
    Completed ANALYSIS pass for database 'Cust201213'.
    Recovery of database 'Cust201213' will undo incomplete nested top actions.
    Database 'Cust201213' appears to be at an older version '12.5' than the present installation at version '16.0'; ASE will assess it, and upgrade it as required.

    Database 'Cust201213': ASE could not completely upgrade this database; upgrade item 1134 could not be installed.
    ASE could not bring database 'Cust201213' online.
    As the database is not online of ASE 16.0 i've been unable to conduct must troubleshooting on that version, so I have cloned a copy of the database on the 11.9.2 instance instead to work on the 644 error.
    From the error I assume that the sysindexes system table is corrupt. I've read various forum entries that talk about running a dbcc reindex etc. however the Sybase knowledge base states that such a command cannot be run on the sysindexes table.
    Can anyone give me some advice on rebuilding a corrupt sysindexes table please. Go easy on me; I've only been exposed to Sybase ASE for 2 days so i'm learning .

    Hi Brad,
    Banging my head against a brick wall here. Constructing an ASE 12.5.4 environment on a server 2012 VM (likely not supported) is proving challenging. It half works in XP compatibility mode but java is not happy.... To get a 12.5.4 staging environment working properly I would need to build a windows server 2003 VM and a windows XP client, get the ODBC drivers working properly etc. and test it. Software of this age is extremely hard to track down and license (particularly without an up to date support agreement with SAP)...
    I am working on an option that is looking positive so far, though it's the last thing I wanted to do.... namely migrate the data from Sybase 11.9.2 to SQL server 2012. The SQL Server migration tool does support this early version of Sybase, and fortunately the 9 databases I need to convert are not too big or too complex so i'm cautiously optimistic. Analysis and dry-runs to date suggests this may be the least painful solution. Keen to rip the data out of this ancient environment before it dies.
    Thanks for you help. This just demonstrates the folly of running a production system in a 16 year old environment; all good fun.
