Hi Gents

PLease assest me with the following :I have an IPO500V1 with R5 5.0.8 & I want to upgrade it to R8 or R8.1
All what's installed inside is a VCM32 Card & a Voice Networking license (SCN)
Do I only need the the Large Upgrade License or still need to buy essentail ?Do I have to go R7 first ?
Please assest me with part numbers & the name of upgrading licenses

Your business partner is much better placed to advise on this.

Small license is for sites under 32 extns.

This is all covert in the techbulletins but ok.

Yes you need to go to 7.0 or 8.0 first if you want to go to 8.1
Yes you will need an essential edition license to keep IPOffice mode.
You will need the "big" upgrade license if more then 32 extensions or expansion modules.


BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

Dear tlpeter

Thanks for the help

Please cofirm if the below is right for a site larger than 32 Users to upgrade the 5.0.8 to R8.1

267786 IPO R8+ ESSNTL EDITION+ LIC
267792 IPO LIC UPG R8.0
&

270399 IPO UPG R8.1+ LIC

You will not need the 8.0 license to go to 8.0 and then 8.1
I do not know the numbers but if it was the small upgrade license then it would say small

Hi Peter

This is against what you have said before
It's is larger than 32 Users but don't I have to go to Major upgrade 8.0 then to minor 8.1 ? &is essential license mandatory ?
or the upgrade would creat a virtual essential license
