Dana,

 

I’ve been down this road before. You need to do the following:

 

1)      Have your Cisco account team open a PSTS case

2)      Find out if the ESW contract changed and became unattached from UCSS

3)      SO# this one is huge..sorry to say it’s your golden ticket for 
entitlements you need to find it

4)      Find all the emails from your previous upgrades you would have needed 
to prove entitlements to get those so finding that will def help

5)      Cross your fingers

 

Welcome to the Cisco licensing nightmare J

Hmmm. Kind of hard. They went from 4.1(3) on MCS hardware to 6.0 -> 6.1(3)

 

Then purchased CUWL and went to 7.x

 

And migrated to 8.6(2) on UCS B series 

 

And finally upgraded to 10.x. 

 

Plus moved offices 4 times in the process. Will see if they have the original 
PAKs.

You're not going to get far until you can prove what was paid for. They are not 
being unhelpful intentionally as their systems can only go back so far. Being 
that old those records are no longer online and have been archived.

If the client has lost everything including PAK keys you're going to have to 
get with the Cisco AM or that original partner to dig up entitlements. Hint: 
PAK keys have the Cisco SO written on them typically in the bottom left corner. 

All of this should've been done prior to the upgrade using the LCU utility and 
case opened with Cisco to check entitlement.

Hi Erick,

 

They did all of the LCU Tool stuff prior to upgrade. All of the contracts were 
active at time of upgrade. 

 

I still have the common issue of only obtaining licenses that the new PLM 
reports and not what the customer has paid for.

 

 

The original purchase (SO#) was some 8 years ago with another partner.

 

Cheers

Dana

That's what we did to make sure everything was good with their contracts 
contained the right licenses.  Then go through the pre-upgrade process to 
verify then the post upgrade goes pretty fast.

 

5 calendar days, three of which were weekend and holiday, for my last upgrade.

Get the customer's Cisco AM involved is my advice.

Guys,

 

A customer of mine did an upgrade last August and still has not been able to 
obtain the licenses that they are entitled to. 

 

The customer first bought CUWL licenses some 8 years ago and have had an active 
and valid UCSS and ESW contract for this entire time. 

 

Global Licensing provided the customer with a mix of UCL Enhanced and Enhanced 
Plus licenses at the time of upgrade to get the system operational. (They 
didn't have their Owner ID's set and it was an 8-10 upgrade.) They've been 
battling with GLO ever since to get their CUWL licenses. 

 

In the 5mths since the upgrade the customers UCSS went overdue but they have 
since renewed with SWSS. GLO still won't provide the licenses. 

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get some traction here. 

 

 

Regards,

 

Dana Tong
