Hi, my client has IP Office R7.0 whit Preffered and Advanced Edition, CCR and VMail Pro running.
He has purchased an upgrade lic to R8.1... He needs a Essential Edition licence???
OK that´s a bis problem!... If I upgrade to R8.1 without the essential license then it turn back to Basic Mode or there is a time to purchase the license (90 days) ???
Thenks overthebars! A last question... in that thread talks about a systems with Preferred Ed License but not about systems with an Advanced Ed License. Is the same??
No, different editions between Preferred and Advanced. Descriptions of each are in the knowledgebase. I recently upgraded a customer from 8 to 8.1. I talked to our tech support and they said all I needed was the large upgrade licence since, just as your situation, the customer had Preferred and Advanced but no Essential Edition license. What the system did is created a Virtual Essential Edition License. But as tlPeter informed us in the thread I linked, if your cabinet dies so does the Virtual License.
Hi friends, I´ve just upgraded the system from R7.0 a R8.1 and a virtual essential edition was created like overthebars said. Has this license a time of expiration???
Not to wade back into this, but I just cherrypicked this out of the knowledgebase under licenses:
"Upgrade Impact
Customers who already have Preferred Edition will not need to buy an Essential Edition license for their system. The Essential Edition license will be applied once the upgrade license has been applied. Customers that already have Power Users or Mobile Workers but no Preferred Edition will need to buy a Preferred Edition license for their system.
For single site IP Offices with Preferred and or Advanced Edition there is no additional impact. These customers will have no upgrade issues."
Has anyone had a system die and not been able to retrieve the "Virtual Essential Edition" license?
I'm just trying to understand what Avaya is doing and so far...
