Avaya IP Office 500V2 8.1 upgrade to Feature pack license Question

[DaveAvaya123]

Hi

I am about to upgrade a system from 8.1 to the latest edition and Avaya have confused me with the license that I require.Do I need the upgrade license for the system as this is what I have found from Avaya:

This is on the knowledgebase:
IP Office Release 8.0(46), IP Office Release 8.1(52) and higher
Systems installed with firmware 8.0(46) or 8.1(52) have no entitlement period after their first call. For those systems, even if in their first 90 day period, any subsequent upgrade to a higher major or minor release will require a software upgrade licence to be added to the system.

This is from the 8.1 feature pack release notes:
Existing IP Office systems being upgraded to IP Office Release 8.1 FP1 will require
an appropriate upgrade license. For those systems already running R8.1 no upgrade
license is required.

Any help would be amazing.

For those systems already running R8.1 no upgrade license is required. If you're already licensed for 8.1 essential, you should be good to go.
