There's a defect for the old license files triggering the grace period error. There's another one for the CLI command to delete licenses not working, so I'm glad you didn't hit that one :)
But yes, since the licenses are included in the backup when you did your second restore it stuck the old licenses back on there. You were correct in deleting them again. -Ryan On Mar 18, 2014, at 3:42 PM, Lelio Fulgenzi <le...@uoguelph.ca<mailto:le...@uoguelph.ca>> wrote: I tried installing the Refresh COP file and got the error that upgrades are not permitted.

I used the "file delete license" command, deleted the files, uploaded them again, and the Refresh COP file install seems to be progressing. Hopefully the ugprade to v9 succeeds as well. --- Lelio Fulgenzi, B.A. Senior Analyst, Network Infrastructure Computing and Communications Services (CCS) University of Guelph 519‐824‐4120 Ext 56354 le...@uoguelph.ca<mailto:le...@uoguelph.ca> www.uoguelph.ca/ccs Room 037, Animal Science and Nutrition Building Guelph, Ontario, N1G 2W1 ________________________________ From: "Lelio Fulgenzi" <le...@uoguelph.ca<mailto:le...@uoguelph.ca>> To: "Tommy Schlotterer" <tschlotte...@netechcorp.com<mailto:tschlotte...@netechcorp.com>> Cc: "cisco-voip voyp list" <cisco-voip@puck.nether.net<mailto:cisco-voip@puck.nether.net>> Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2014 9:55:59 AM Subject: Re: [cisco-voip] applying a second restore to a newly built cluster - license files?

Lelio, Once you install the latest refresh.cop file you do not have to rehost your licenses to upgrade to 9. You can do the following: (per the jump upgrade guide): Install fresh 7.X server on Vmware (Using the same IP addresses and hostnames) Install upgrade.cop Restore your DRS Backup Upgrade to 9.x DRS Backup Create fresh 9.x server – To align your partitions Restore DRS backup Thanks Tommy Tommy Schlotterer | Systems Engineer CCNA, CCNA Voice <image001.png> 48325 Alpha Dr. Ste. 150 Wixom, MI 48393 p 248.468.0710 e tschlotte...@netechcorp.com<mailto:tschlotte...@netechcorp.com> w netechcorp.com<http://netechcorp.com/> From: cisco-voip [mailto:cisco-voip-boun...@puck.nether.net] On Behalf Of Lelio Fulgenzi Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2014 9:36 AM To: cisco-voip voyp list Subject: [cisco-voip] applying a second restore to a newly built cluster - license files? OK, so here's where I'm at. Probably not a recommended or common activity, but it's where we're at. I've accepted the fact I might have to start over again. I've (1) rebuilt a v7 CallManager cluster in the lab, (2) restored from backup, (3) applied new re-hosted licenses, (4) applied the Refresh COP file and (5) upgraded successfully to v9. That process has been tested a few times. In order to test the rebuild/restore process for IPCCx v7, we stopped at step (3). Unfortunately, we found we had to make a few changes, so to speed things along, I restored a more recent backup to the lab cluster. I'm just wondering, what the chances are of me being able to upgrade the v7 CallManager cluster to v9 after I completed another restore between steps (3) and (4). Should I apply the rehosted license file again? It's there, listed in the license files. Also, I noticed that after I upload the rehosted license files, the old ones are still there. Should I remove those? Thanks everyone.
