Erik,
For those who are fortunate enough to get the NFR pack, I'm sure this will come in handy. One thing I would like to clarify - you mentioned UCM7 contains 3 node licenses. Did you need to the LIC file for this? Or when you installed UCM7 in VMWare, it already included 3 node licenses?

They are not that willing, to provide you with a lic if you are not a partner, as cisco`s statement is that end-customer should not use Vmware for lab purposes, as end-customers do not need a demo (because the partner will provide you with that) you will not receive that either. However, some luck you can have, licensing is not the most intelligent department within cisco, and sometimes they will provide you with the licenses. I`d say, try it, if you don`t succeed try talking to your cisco or partner accountmanager, and let them arrange it. (can help a lot, if you can provide them a business oppportunity, especially in these times) Good luck, Erik On Thu, Dec 4, 2008 at 3:21 AM, Mark Holloway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Erik, Reading your message is making me very jealous. I logged in to the Marketplace and as expected, I cannot see the UCM NFR kit for purchase. I wish Cisco made this available to candidates who passed their CCIE Voice written exam. I have a question about the way you licensed UC7 NFR suite in each of your VMWare instances. Is everything running in "demo" mode (install with no need for license files) or did you have to generate LIC files for each server installation of UCM, UC, UCCX, Presence, etc? If you generated LIC files, I guess Cisco PAK doesn't care if the MAC addresses are from VMWare. In the past with other UCM versions it wouldn't let you generate license files for VMWare MAC addresses. I appreciate your assistance.

Currently i have the entire 7.0 launch running in vmware without any problems, so you should be ok there. looking at the licenses provided with the NFR (or in VM moded), for CUCM you will have 3 node licenses and 150 dlu`s, for presence you can run 2 nodes. UCCX 7.0 comes with a staggering 150 premium agent license, outbound and basic email is included in premium. unity connection i am not sure, need to check that. grtz, Erik On Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 4:37 AM, Sunny Sharma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: hi experts planning to build a ccie voice rack. need help in hardware setup as per new V3 blueprint thanks in advance SS
