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.

For a step by step procedure, see Migrating Licenses to PLDS.

Notes

• Ensure all licenses are loaded on the system before using the license migration tool to extract the licensing information. For Server Edition deployments, ensure all nodes are online in order to capture the current view of systems in the solution. This step must be completed before preparing your R10 software upgrade quote in the the Avaya One Source Configurator.

• 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 Tools > License Migration 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.
