Upgrade R7 to R8.1 Essential License needed? 3

[DutchRonald]

Hi all,

Customer has an IPO500v2 R7.0 Prefered Edition without Essential license and wants to upgrade to 8.1. Do they need an Essential License as well? I thought that an upgrade license 8.1 alone would be sufficient. Is this correct?

Perhaps a silly question but I seem to have lost track of al the license changes that Avaya has done recently

Grtz,
Ronald

Hi all, now I have this exotic situation: IP Office 500v1 8.0.16, with Preferred and Upgrade 5 > Upgrade new IP Office 500v2 8.1.63.
Essential Edition needed?

I think the only way to get it working without Essential: New 500v2 (with entitlement period) load 7.0 > Upgrade with confing to 8.0 (lower than 8.0.46) > Upgrade to 8.1.63.
Fingers crossed....

That system must have a virtual essential licence aleady (from the original upgrade)? If so that will be retained
