VMware License Requirements
To obtain a license for Cisco Unified Presence running on a VMware server, you require the License
MAC value of the server. Choose Cisco Unified OS Administration > Show > System, or Show >
Network, to display the License MAC value.
For information on how to obtain Cisco Unified Presence licenses, see the Deployment Guide for
Cisco Unified Presence.
If you perform a bridge upgrade to supported hardware for Cisco Unified Presence 8.0, you will need to
request new server and software version license files, with the new License MAC value for VMware. To
do this send an email to [email protected] requesting a "rehost" of your license. For further
information on this procedure, see the Deployment Guide for Cisco Unified Presence.
