Upgrade cost????

[headcase69]

I have a upgrade price cost question.... if I’m at a R9.1 and want to go to R11, we are told that we have to purchase ALL new licenses again???? Is that correct?!?!?! I already paid for the licensing I have the first time I bought the system! Now Avaya is telling me I have to repurchase theses licenses in order to upgrade to R11?

Is this right?

Yes, UNLESS you have IP Office Support Services (IPOSS)

Yes and no.

You have to buy migragtion licenses for each license which are a lot cheaper than 'new' licenses.

Well, yes and no.
You can do an upgrade, and you'll pay a cost for migrating the licenses, but they are cheaper than new ones.

Which does kinda suck. They changed it late last year I think. It used to just be the cost of the essential/vmpro migration (if you didn't have iposs), but now they charge for ALL licenses.
I have a customer that has hundreds of ip endpoint licenses and they missed the upgrade cutoff date and it is a pricey upgrade.

That being said, I've heard of some people buying IPOSS, then waiting a couple months, and then doing an entitled upgrade for free (sans the cost of the IPOSS). If you can a BP that will do that (many won't), then you'll probably be good.

But then in the old days a customer with only 2 IP endpoint licenses did pay the same as a 5000+ user system with VM pr, sip channels and all the stuff.

So they made it a bit more fair now.

IPOSS can be applied to any version of IPO? for example 9.0 , 9.1 etc?

What version are people upgrading to nowadays? 11.1.2 and using the 11.1.1 bin file for the 30B module?
