Follow these steps to access each application, perform the first-time setup for some applications, and apply the licenses.

Procedure

Step 1

To access the administration portal for each individual application, browse to the IP address of application. Consider the following information:

  • (Optional) For Paging Server installations: Collect information about the application URL from the virtual machine console. The default first-time username and password are admin and changeMe.
  • Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning: Browse to the IP address and use globaladmin as the username.
  • Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance and Analytics Business: Browse to the IP address and use globaladmin as the username.

  • Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment: Browse to the IP address and use the Administrator account and password you specified during installation. For more information, see the Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment Administration Guide, Release 11.5(2) Admin Guide.

Step 2

After you purchase an application license, Cisco sends a Product Authorization Key (PAK) through mail or email. You can use the PAK to generate a license key for your specific installation using the Cisco Product License Registration portal at the www.cisco.com/go/license or you can enter the information directly in Cisco Prime License Manager.

Step 3

Apply license keys using the application administration portal. Refer to the following points for licensing information specific to whichever applications that you have installed:

  • Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning: No license is required to use Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning Standard Edition. You may purchase an upgrade to Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning Advanced Edition if necessary.
  • Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance and Analytics : No license is required to use Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance Standard Edition. You may purchase an upgrade to Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance Advanced and Analytics or Advanced Edition if necessary.
  • Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment: No license is required to use Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment Edition, as the Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment license is entitled by the Cisco Unified Communications Manager license.
