Introduction

About Release Notes

These release notes describe features, requirements, restrictions, and caveats for Cisco Prime License Manager. These release notes are updated for every maintenance release but not for patches or hot fixes.

Upgrades

For co-resident deployments, Enterprise License Manager Release 9.1 is upgraded to Cisco Prime License Manager Release 10.x with Release 10.x of a Unified Communications application (Cisco Unity Connection or Cisco Unified Communications Manager) upgrade.

For a standalone Enterprise License Manager deployment, use the Prime License Manager ISO. To upgrade to Cisco Prime License Manager Release 10.5(2), use CiscoPrimeLM_64bitLnx_ 10.5.2.10000-3.sgn.iso.

You can upgrade a standalone Enterprise License Manager Release 9.1(2) deployment to a standalone Cisco Prime License Manager Release 10.x deployment.

Upgrading Enterprise License Manager on MCS Server to Cisco Prime License Manager on Virtual Machine

Cisco Prime License Manager Release 10.0(1) and later is supported on ESXi VMware only. The OVA template is available from the Software Download Center under Prime License Manager Virtual Machine Templates. Bootable install media for new installs is available from the Electronic Software Delivery (ESD) along with the Cisco Unified Communications Manager software.

Procedure


Step 1

Replace the MCS server with the VM Server as described in the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/install/9_1_1/replace/CUCM_BK_R1B1A464_00_replace-server-cluster-cucm-91.html.

Step 2

Upgrade the standalone Cisco Enterprise License Manager Release 9.x to standalone Cisco Prime License Manager Release 10.x using the refresh upgrade process with Cisco Prime License Manager standalone ISO as described in the Cisco Prime License Manager User Guide: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/cloud-systems-management/prime-license-manager/products-user-guide-list.html.

Step 3

Once the new instance has been installed, licenses must be transferred from the old instance. Cisco Global Licensing Organisation (GLO) can assist with this process.
