UCCX 8 Licensing
W UCCX 8 Cisco zmieniło model licencjonowania. W nowej wersji licencja jest przypisana do node’a i generowana na podstawie kilku konfigurowalnych (sic!) parametrów – Time zone, NTP Server, Hostname itp. A wszystko po to by dodać wsparcie dla VMware. Szczegóły poniżej:
One of the big changes in the 8.x version is the licensing model, as it changed from a non node locked license to a node locked license schema. In the old versions of UCCX the license was not dependant on the hardware of software configuration, so basically you were able to use any license on any server without any issue. But in this new version the license gets associated to something we call now ‘License MAC’, which is a 12 digit HEX value created by hashing a great deal of parameters that you configure on the server, including: Time zone, NTP Server 1 (or ‘none’), NIC speed (or ‘auto’), Hostname, IP Address, IP Mask, Gateway Address, Primary DNS, SMTP Server (or ‘none’), Certificate Information (Organization, Unit, Location, State, Country), etc. If there’s a change on any of these parameters, the License MAC also changes and you will need to request a re-host license to the Cisco licensing team in no more than 30 days.
