Upgrade to Smart Licensing

HCM-F 12.5 Upgrade Guidelines

Provision the Smart account with client credentials that includes Client ID and Client Secret in HCM-F. This provisioning enables HCM-F to authenticate with the Cisco Authentication Gateway with the client credentials. HCM-F gets the access token from Cisco Authentication Gateway for communicating with CSSM.

Procedure

Step 1

Complete the seps in Initial One Time Setup in CSSM for Smart Licensing topic.

Step 2

Upgrade HCM-F to 12.5(x).

For more information about upgrading HCM-F, see Upgrade HCM-F in Cisco Hosted Collaboration Mediation Fulfillment Install and Configure Guide.

Set the Transport Mode in HCM-F, navigate to Smart Licensing > Transport Mode.

Step 3

Provision Smart Account in HCM-F.

Configure the Smart Account or Satellite local account, navigate to Smart Licensing > Configure Smart Accounts. For details, see Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solution Smart Licensing Guide.

Configure the Smart Account, navigate to Smart Licensing > Smart Accounts. Click Add New, to configure smart accounts.

For more information, see Configure Smart Account Access.

Note 

Once the Smart Account is configured, HCM-F synchronizes with CSSM and Satellite and retrieves all the Virtual Account details to HCM-F in Virtual Account Summary window (Smart Licensing > Virtual Account Summary).

Step 4

Upgrade the UC applications.

  1. License Conversion and Migration to Smart Licensing

  2. Unassign the UC clusters from PLM before you upgrade UC clusters to 12.5(x). Navigate to License Management > License Management Summary.

  3. Upgrade the UC applications.
Step 5

Register the UC applications to Virtual Account.

  1. Update the Cluster Application Version to 12.5(x). Navigate to Cluster Management > Cluster to verify the version. For details, see Cisco Hosted Collaboration Mediation Fulfillment Install and Configure Guide

    Note 

    If you are using Unified CDM, ensure the cluster application version is 12.5(x). If the version is less than 12.5(x), update the cluster application version to 12.5(x).

    If you are registering to CSSM by using the proxy mode, then you must set the proxy parameters at the customer and cluster level, otherwise the registration fails. For more information about the proxy parameters at cutomer and cluster level, see Add Customer, and Add Cluster sections in Cisco Hosted Collaboration Mediation Fulfillment Install and Configure Guide.

  2. Assign a cluster manually to a Virtual Account, if you have not opted for auto registration.

    Assign the License Mode to HCS for a Virtual Account, navigate to Smart Licensing > Virtual Account Summary.

    For details, see Assign and Unassign a Cluster to Virtual Account.

    Note 

    Ensure the licenses are present in the VA in CSSM.
