Overview of a 6.0 to 7.0 Upgrade 257
key file after installing the new software, and install the license key before
switching to the new version.
Once you have installed the new VCX software on a server, obtain the
machine ID for the server by entering the following command while
logged in to the root account:
vcx-showmachineid
This command returns a value similar to the following:
SNAm-Fro7-vrJa-YKhH-H8az-db7Q
Your 3Com Voice Authorized Reseller will supply the license key that
corresponds to the machine ID. For the sample machine id shown above
the license key filename would be:
SNAm-Fro7-vrJa-YKhH-H8az-db7Q.activation,key
Save the license key file in the /opt/installtemp directory.
3Com strongly recommends that you save copies of your license key files
in a separate, safe location. If any VCX server experiences a disk or other
failure that requires reinstallation of the VCX software, the license key file
must be available for that process.
Installing a License Key File
To install a license key, log on to the server as root and enter the
following commands:
cd /opt/installtemp
vcx-licenseinstall <license key filename>
These confirmation messages indicates that the license key has been
successfully installed.
Activation Key Successfully Validated
Success: Activation key validated and installed.
The license key is installed in the /opt3com/licenses directory and the
activation key is symbolically linked to the license key file as shown in the
following example:
ls -l
