Can we upgrade to 10.1 with R10 Lic?

We were not able to find 10.1 lic on Avaya A 1 s.

Thanks

yes

And no.
Once the system is used on R10.0 (a single call is enough) you cannot upgrade to 10.1.

you may want to check your facts on that @intrigrant

I think you can Cor. or at least I was able to do so with our demo system..

 

[intrigrant]

Well, it is supposed not to.
Avaya changes things without they even now it, it seems, removing the IP500 SD card will keep the site up and running until reboot while it should stop when two hours are passed.

So i am not surprised if you actually can upgrade, i did not try as it was told to us by our distri to be impossible(as it was in the past) and we did not had the need to upgrade a 10.0 customer to 10.1.

I've upgraded R10 to R10.1 without a license on multiple occasions. It will let you.

Thanks.

I ask the question to Avaya an hour ago and they said yes.

From what I heard and take it with a grain of salt, the issue is the number of digits. Avaya sees the upgrade as a minor upgrade as the release is the 3rd digit doesn't matter where the dot is. so it sees it as a minor upgrade to 10.1 just like 1.0.1 or 8.1.65 to 8.1.95. Not sure where the screw up happened but that was what was told to me. That is why the next release is 11.o not 10.2.

In PLDS licensing, the version of the system licensed is part of the license file. It appears as <Version>10</VERSION> near the top of the file and it only supports single part version numbers, eg. U and X, not U.V and X.Y.

So basically a PLDS license file for 10 is currently a license file for 10.0 and 10.1 and should it they ever exist 10.2, 10.3, etc.

I say currently because I'm sure Avaya with eventually manage to engineer it so that the license file for Release 12 will need to say <VERSION>14</VERSION> or some other complexification.

Stuck in a never ending cycle of file copying.

There is no license difference between R10.0 and R10.1. The license is just R10. Not sure I have tried apart form our inhouse kit, but there should be no issue here at all. Upgrade licenses no longer exist. I expect the upgrade to R11 to be a PLDS process same as upgrade R9 IPOCC to R10. You'll just need to already be on R10 PLDS for that to work.
