About this Guide
This guide contains compatibility information for Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the IM and Presence Service Release 12.0(1), along with subsequent SU releases.
Information About Releases
Notes About Engineering Specials (ESs), Service Updates (SUs), And Windows Service Release (SR) Upgrades
If you run a Linux or Windows Engineering Special (ES), a Service Update (SU), or a Windows Service Release (SR) for any version listed in the “Direct upgrade” tables, you can also upgrade to the target version for that section.
If you install an ES, it may contain fixes that are not included in newer releases. For example, a fix in the latest 10.5(1)es, 10.5(1.32xx-x), may not be included in 10.5(2x) because the fix was not available prior to the release of 10.5(2x). In this example, a later ES on the 10.5(2x) branch may be required to retain the same fixes.
Restricted and Unrestricted
Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Service are available in both US Export Restricted and US Export Unrestricted (UNRST). The Restricted version contains full encryption capabilities. The Unrestricted version contains fewer encryption capabilities.
The US Export Restricted release has always been available from Cisco. A sample file name for US Export Restricted would be UCSInstall_UCOS_#.#.#.#####-#.sgn.iso.
The US Export Unrestricted UNRST release complies with import /export restrictions to various countries and is available in limited markets. A sample file name for US Export Unrestricted would be UCSInstall_UCOS_UNRST_#.#.#.#####-#.sgn.iso.
UNRST releases support fewer encryption capabilities and are classified as US export unrestricted. UNRST releases are intended for customers for which US Export and/or Foreign Import Encryption Regulations apply.
 Note |
Once installed, UNRST releases can never be converted or upgraded to releases which support full encryption capabilities |
Long-Life Releases
Long-Life Releases are the final planned releases on a major train and will be the last releases to go End-of-Support on a major train. Customers planning to remain on one version of code for an extended period of time should select a Long-Life Release for their deployment.
Note |
"Major" releases are differentiated by the first digit of the release number; 9.x, 10.x are examples of "major" releases. |
Supported Versions
The following versions are supported for Release 12.0(1) and 12.0(1) SU releases:
|

Note |
There are no 12.0(1) SU releases for the IM and Presence Service. The IM and Presence Service 12.0(1) version of 12.0.1.10000-12 is supported with any Unified Communications Manager 12.0(1) SU version. |
Version Compatibility Between Unified CM and IM and Presence Service
Version compatibility between Unified Communications Manager and the IM and Presence Service depends on the IM and Presence deployment type:
-
Standard Deployments of IM and Presence—Both Unified Communications Manager and the IM and Presence Service must be running one of the 12.0(1) versions from the above table for the deployment to be supported. Note that if you are running a 12.0(1) SU version of Unified Communications Manager, you must connect to the 12.0(1) version of the IM and Presence Service.
-
Centralized Deployments of IM and Presence—There is no requirement that both the telephony cluster and IM and Presence clusters run 12.0(1) versions. If you have a centralized 12.0(1) IM and Presence cluster, you can connect to a telephony cluster that is running a different release, such as 12.5(1) or 11.5(1). However, note that the IM and Presence central cluster also includes a standalone, non-telephony Unified CM publisher node. This node, which exists for database and user provisioning, must be running the same release as the IM and Presence Service.
Upgrades and Migration Paths for 12.0(1)
Use the tables below to determine whether you can upgrade or migrate from your currently installed version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager and IM and Presence Service . The supported path and the method that you can use to perform the upgrade or migration depend on whether your current version is installed directly on server hardware or on a virtual machine:
Applications Installed on Cisco Media Convergence Servers Hardware
Applications Installed on Cisco Media Convergence Server (MCS) 7800 Series Hardware
You cannot install or run and the directly on server hardware; you must run these applications on virtual machines. The tables below list the supported migration paths for deployments that are currently running on MCS 7800 hardware. All of the supported migration paths listed below are physical-to-virtual (P2V) migrations.
Note |
The tables below list the upgrade paths supported for MCS 7800 Series servers, with the following exceptions:
PCD migrations are not supported for BE3000 and BE5000 deployments. We recommend a fresh installation for upgrades from these products. |
Note |

Upgrades that Involve Deprecated Phones
If you are using any of these phones on an earlier release and you want to upgrade to this release, do the following:
-
Confirm whether the phones in your network will be supported in this release.
-
Identify any non-supported phones.
-
For any non-supported phones, power down the phone and disconnect the phone from the network.
-
Provision a supported phone for the phone user. You can use the following methods to migrate from older model to newer model phones:
-
Once all the phones in your network are supported by this release, upgrade your system.
Note |
Deprecated phones can also be removed after the upgrade. When the administrator logs in to Unified Communications Manager after completing the upgrade, the system displays a warning message notifying the administrator of the deprecated phones. |
Licensing
You do not need to purchase a new device license to replace a deprecated phone with a supported phone. The device license becomes available for a new phone when you either remove the deprecated phone from the system, or when you switch to the new Unified Communications Manager version, and the deprecated phone fails to register.
