Changing MAC address of UCCX 9

Disclaimer : This blog is just for educational purpose and doesn't involved in any unlicensed and crack software .

The recent license approach of cisco is based on License MAC which is generated based on few parameter you provide during the installation.

Before changing the license MAC  you need to boot the UCCX box in rescue mode.You can use any bootbable linux CD however i used linux 5.

when the system boot it gives you a linux rescue mode.

Type Linux rescue in the boot mode

once the server enter into the rescue mode .

type chroot /mnt/sysimage

After that open the file at location /usr/local/bin/base_scripts/LicenseMac.sh and edit this with any editor ( i used the VI editior)

Search for the field ..
FinalString=`expr substr "$SHA1sum" 1 12`

Replace it with

FinalString="Your License MAC Addres"

to save and quit once you have modified the field  press "Escape" the :wq!

:wq!  will save and quit  the vi editor.

Now next step is to modify the  "/etc/selinux/config"
