CUCM SMart Licensing

[Vijay Patil]

We are planning to upgrade CUCM 11.X version to CUCM 12.X for few customers ...where different customer are ready with direct / Satellite server deployment .......

My question is once the Licensing part done Direct / Satellite server & then CUCM upgraded to 12.x ...what is the procedure that we can check CUCM is using smart Licenses using Direct / Satellite model deploymnet

Also some customer asking us how they can check from there end if they want to check communication between CUCM & Smart Licensing server is happening

If using direct option, you will see usage in your software.cisco.com page

If using a satellite, after it has been properly registered and it has synced, you can create the tokens there, and see the license usage once you register a product in your satellite.

If you have problems with direct registration, then that means you need to make sure the necessary ports are open, or use a proxy.

For the satellite, if you cannot register, or it cannot sync, that would mean there's a problem with the communication.
