Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning: How to Change from Standard to Advanced
Standard and Advanced features are controlled by the license applied. The Provisioning OVA contains Standard as
well as Advanced code, along with the Linux OS. The Advanced Provisioning features can be enabled using
purchased full Advanced feature licenses, not upgrade licenses.
Once the OVA is downloaded and installation is started, the operator makes a choice to install the Standard
software (default) or the Advanced evaluation (60-day term) software.
If the Standard software is installed and the operator wants to change to the Advanced software, a user with
administrative privileges can easily change in one of two ways:
●
Select the “upgrade” or “^” button in the top right corner of the screen.
●
Select the “View and Evaluate Advanced Features” link on the “Getting Started” menu and follow the
instructions to change to the evaluation (Advanced) mode. (The actual screen text will be different in Cisco
Prime Collaboration 11 and later.).
If installed in the Advanced evaluation mode, the user has 60 days to evaluate the software and change it to
permanent Advanced mode by installing Advanced licenses. For more information on how to order Cisco Prime
Collaboration Advanced licensing, refer to the ordering guide or contact your Cisco sales partner.
If software in evaluation mode is not changed to permanent Advanced mode, the system prompts for an Advanced
license after 60 days. At the end of the 60th day, a message will pop up telling the user that the 60-day evaluation
has expired. The customer will need to add an Advanced license to continue.
To directly change a Standard mode system to permanent Advanced mode, the administrator can upload an
Advanced license to the Standard system through the “add licenses” feature of the system.
Advanced license to the Standard system through the “add licenses” feature of the system.
