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.
Note:
You must use the release 10 or higher Manager client to generate the license inventory file.
You can install Manager before upgrading to release 10. See the procedure Installing Manager.
License migration is supported on all IP Office modes, release 6.0 and higher.
The license migration tool can only be used with an online configuration. The option is disabled for offline configurations.
The license migration tool is not available on UCM and Application servers. When you run the license migration tool on a Server Edition server, the tool collects licensing information from every node in the solution.
The generated file can be read but must not be edited. License migration will fail if the file has been edited.
