Confuse about WebEx meeting center and WebEX CMR cloud features

Hi all

      I am really confused with the differences between Cisco Collaboration Room and WebEx meeting Center. According to this link http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/conferencing/webex-meeting-center/datasheet-c78-734100.html

Cisco Collaboration Room is the old name of WebEx meeting Center

"Simplify your IT department’s work and make it easy for participants to join meetings from any standards-based video endpoint with Cisco WebEx® Meeting Center video conferencing, formerly Cisco® Collaboration Meeting Rooms (CMR) Cloud."

    However, there are two separate part numbers in Cisco Spark M3 BOM

A-SPK-NU-MC-X Included WebEx Meeting Center (1)
A-SPK-NU-CMR-25-X Included Collaboration Meeting Rooms (Cloud) Named User (1)

    What is the difference ? Thanks!!

CMR Cloud was previously a paid add-on feature of Cisco Meeting Center, however that has changed and is now included at no cost.  Even though it's included for free, there still needs to be a line item for it, which is what you're seeing.

Hi Patrick,
If I have order WBX-MC-BE6K-NY3 from BE6K bundled, am I still need to purchase L-WBX-CMRNU-S2-NY3 for cloud CMR? for my Saas Webex usage.

I don't know to be honest, but I'd recommend looking at the Spark packages that you listed in your original post, as some of the WebEx GPL SKUs are about to no longer be sold come Nov 2017 (see eos-eol-notice-c51-739588).  I'd recommend to contact your Account Manager, they can help determine the best WebEx package for you needs.
