Upgrading IPO412 from 3.2(59) to 4.2

[dozierl7581]

I am planning on upgrading our IP Office from 3.2 to 4.2 and was doing some research. We are currently using the IMS service on the 3.2 and now see they have UMS on the 4.2. Will my license for the IMS work for UMS or do I need a new license? I also have a IPO406v2 at another site that are connected across a P2P link. Will I need an additional license to continue networking? I know there are many changes on the 4.X software, but am not clear how the licensing changed.

Thanks in advance for the help.

The licensing will be ok. As far as i understand the IMS will still work as it has. they have come out with UMS and stopped adding to the IMS but it is still in the VM install files.

Ok. So for the time being it is more of an addition than a replacement?

We are also planning on upgrading to Exchange 2007 and Outlook 2007 do you know if IMS will work with it?

Thanks

The Outlook 2007 will be problematic for IMS, and depending on how you use SCN to the remote 406 you may need the "Advanced SCN" license for distributed hunt groups and remote hot-desking.

We used IMS originally with 3.5, but dropped it because of issues with cached Exchange mode, which we absolutely have to use. And, yes, tlpeter is correct, Avaya has dropped IMS going forward and is shifting completely over to UMS. My understanding is that those licenses won't transfer over. Sigh. We have 10 offices on an MPLS WAN and have them all on and ASCN; the license cost for an ASCN lic is about $750 per site. We do have call handling between offices, and advertised hunt groups, as well as VoIP internally, so the ASCN was definitely the way to go for us
