Licenses
In case of cloud or rental model, don't worry about licenses.
If the system is licensed on premise, you'll need to regenerate the license file for v16 in https://portal.innovaphone.com/ and load into the system before upgrade (The system needs to have the SSC up to date).

Manual steps needed after upgrade
If the installer is not used for a new installation, some new default settings are not set. Please evaluate per app whether you want to configure the new default settings manually.
Connector for Microsoft 365
If you plan to use the new Contact Search feature of the Connector for Microsoft 365, you need to perform two manual Steps:
- Create the microsoft365-api app object by using the Settings template
- Assign the microsoft365-api app object to every user who should be able to use the new Contact Search feature. (Of cause, you can use a template for that)
For a more detailed guide, please refer to the how-to article: Howto16r1:Configure Contact Search by Connector for Microsoft365#Creating the PBX app object using the PBX Manager Plugin
Remote Control
In order to use the Admin Configuration Panel of the Settings App – AP Remote Control, it is necessary to grant access to the admin API, available in the App tab of the Remote Control App object.
New Apps
