Is there a way to tell what release a 500v2 was originally burned at? The box knows. ex.. a IP500v2 is in stock (we are told by Avaya to swap boxes to rule hardware out all the time)and is tested good. Customer at 8.1 goes down, how do we determine if the replacement box was burned in at 8.0, 8.1 or pick-a-release? How can we learn what release prior to discovering if we need an upgrade license on site once the SD card is put in?
 
Fire it up with a spare SD and extn card in and open the upgrade window, it will tell what release it's licenced for, or if it's "255" it's still less than 90 days old :)

 
That would only tell what the last release on the box for the previous location if the config still exists, not what it was burned in at correct? Burned at 8.0, upgraded to 8.1. Still would need the 8.1 upgrade to work. Usually when a box comes back in we test at wipe it, sounds like a bad idea now.
 
No, it tells you what version the chassis is locked at without any additional licencing :)

 
Thanks, that pans out. The licensed field is the winner.
