MOH not working

Primarily, such issues are the cause of configuration negligence. Below is what we need to make sure to make it work- 1. Make sure that phone and gateways have right MRGL. 2. MRGL should contain required MOH server resources. 3. Make sure that MOH servers are registered with respective CUCM nodes. 4. MOH files need to be uploaded on all IPVMSA servers. 5. The format of the MOH file should be .raw, for linux platforms. If you started facing this issue all of a sudden, then IPVMSA might got stuck and you need to restart IPVMSA service on all nodes. Please make sure to take IPVMSA and CUCM traces on the detailed level in order to find out RCA of the issue.

Error: License file format error

I have see such kind of error only in one scenario when we need to upload the license for CUPC client on CUCM running on UCS appliance. Why we get this error message :- It's only because Call Manager doesn't understand UPC*.lic file format. For CUCM, CUPC is another endpoint and another phone unit. Hence, it needs the same file format as we use for phone unit DLUs which is CCM*.lic file format. How to resolve it :- Cisco Licensing Team should provide you the license file with CCM*.lic format for UPC client. Snippet of correct license file for UPC - INCREMENT PHONE_UNIT cisco 8.0 permanent uncounted \     VENDOR_STRING=<Count>300</Count><OrigMacId> XXXXXXXXXXXX </OrigMacId><LicMac> XXXXXXXXXXXX </LicMacId><LicFileVersion>2.0</LicFileVersion> \     HOSTID=HOSTNAME= XXXXXXXXXXXX OVERDRAFT=15 \     NOTICE="<LicFileID> licensefilename </LicFileID><LicLineID>1</Li...
