Introduction

This document provides a solution on how to install Cisco Unity when the license file wizard fails in the initial stages of the Cisco Unity upgrade from version 4.x to 5.x.

Note: If the Cisco Unity system is configured for failover, you need to install the license files only on the primary server.

Problem

When running the Cisco Unity Installation and Configuration Assistant (CUICA), the second step, Install a Cisco Unity upgrade license, fails. When clicking the run the Cisco Unity license file wizard link, this error pops up in a window: Failed to get resource from LicFileWizRes.

Note: License files are used cumulatively. Do not remove files from the License Files list, or the licenses provided by those files will be deactivated.

Solution

The solution to this problem is to bypass the license file installation and upgrade to Cisco Unity 5.x. After the upgrade is completed, the license file can be installed using the Cisco Unity license file wizard from the tools depot.

Bypass License File

In order to bypass the license file installation, you need to edit the Windows Registry.

Complete these steps:

1. Open regedit and backup your registry keys.

2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Active Voice > CUCA > Licensing.

3. Right click on the Licensing folder and select new > DWORD Value.

4. Name it HasCompleted. Double click on the new DWORD and under Value Data, change the value from 0 to 1.
