The ADI to PLDS license migration proces requires to upload a specific file in One Source. This file is obtained with an IP Office Manager R10.
The procedure doesn't state that the licenses on the IP Office should be valid when using the license migration tool.
In other words, you shouldn't upgrade the IP Office prior to downloading the file.
It kinda makes sense if you think about it. Though, this might save you some time, trying to migrate to PLDS.
We lost a few days opening service requests with Avaya, trying to find a solution.

IP Office Manager Help said:[bbox]Migrating Licenses to PLDS[/bbox]
IP Office release 10 and higher supports only the Product Licensing and Delivery System (PLDS) to manage license files. If you are upgrading from a previous release, you must migrate all of your pre-R10 licenses (ADI, PLDS, mix of ADI/PLDS, virtual) to R10 PLDS licenses. The license migration tool extracts all the licensing information from an IP Office system and saves it to a file. This file can then be used prepare a software upgrade quote in the Avaya One Source Configurator in order to obtain the required new PLDS R10 licenses.
For Server Edition deployments, the License Migration tool collects licensing information from every node in the solution.
