Hi everyone,

One of our customers have recently upgraded their licenses to suscription model. All clear till that point.

 

The thing is that also the are changing all the Commcell infraestructure (Commserve VM, MediaAgents and DiskLibraries). And due to this Commvault was installed on 2009 we have decided to perform a completely fresh install of the Backup environment using the new hardware and the existing licenses.

We are not planning to migrate backup JOBs, old (current) Commcell will be just used for restore purposes of historical data, we will keep the VM a physical MA and a Tape Robot on old environment to perfom those historical restore.


The question is:

 

  • Can we use the same CCID & and license file on the new environment.
  • In case not do you know what’s the proccedure to perform this change so we can move the suscription license to the new environment and let the old one (current) whitout licenses&support.

I have checked the following KB of the documentation but none of the explained cases is exactly the same as our:

Thanks for your help

Hello ​@gfc 

This is more of an accounts question. The core of your issue is that the end result is two Commvault deployments that are active cannot share a CCID so you will need two. 

I would guess they will give you a new CCID and sort out a deal to allow you to have the old “restore only’ environment and then have the new CCID. 

In summary, CCID is linked to subscription and the accounts will be able to sort you out here. 

Kind regards
