Hello,

Honestly your question is not clear for me.

Are you looking for a test CCM ???

CUCM 8.0 is supported to be installed on VM on LAB on any server , and by default when you install the server from scratch , the server will come up with one node license and 50 device units , so i think they are more than enough for a test environent , as for the services , they will all work normally , you can also use the CME-SRST for test with the CUCM to show the power of the SRST and the differneces between express and CUCM server.

install call manager os on VMWARE u will be able to use everything... no need to get physical server

i did like this for my enviornment...

CME has some less features then proper call manager.. so dont make ur router as call manager use VM solution and can user anything like CUCM 6-7-8

Hi JK,

If, I setup CUCM on vmware ..Youo tiold you already setup this envoronment.....what about the licence..?how many phones i can register..?

[JATINDER KUMAR]

Dear Midhun,

it has nothing to do with how many phones you can connect.. becoz every phone consumes a different number of license.. it comes with a totoal of 50 licenses which is sufficient for connecting 8 high end phones or... 12 medim level or.. 18 basic phones
