Upgrading or Downgrading the Cisco Unity Express License in the Same Version

Last Updated: June 25, 2007

This chapter describes the procedures to upgrade or downgrade to a different license size for Cisco Unity Express systems without changing the release version. The procedures in this chapter apply whether you are upgrading to a license with support for more mailboxes, downgrading to a license with support for fewer mailboxes, or changing your Interactive Voice Response (IVR) license.

Note If your system is already configured, you cannot change the license type from Cisco Unified Communications Manager to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express. To make that change, you must reinstall and reconfigure the system. The data cannot be restored. However, you can change the license type prior to running the initialization wizard.

Note If you are changing to a smaller mailbox license, verify that the system meets the new license limit before downloading the new license. For example, if you are downgrading from a 50 mailbox license to a 12 mailbox license, ensure that your system does not have more than 12 configured mailboxes. If you have more than 12 mailboxes, delete the extra mailboxes before downgrading the license.

This procedure is a clean installation, which uses the software installer in the application. The clean installation permits the system to remain operational while the new software files are downloaded in the background. You must back up and restore your configuration files. Only an FTP server is required for the installation.
