Hi all
I have a CCME 2801 box out there somewhere running: (C2801-IPVOICEK9-M), Version 12.4(15)T5
I was under the impression the max number of phones it'll take is 24. Somehow I have 26 connected, alive and well. Am I using some sort of supplimental licence? If so how many more do I have until I cannot connect any more phones?
Also if I wanted to buy another pack of licences to run more phones, say 8, 16, or 24, is there a page detailing what these part numbers are?
Thanks!

Hi Huw,
There is no way to increase the number of supported user/phones with CME other than
moving to more powerful hardware. Like going from a 2801 to 2811 or 2821
The stated max users on a 2801 is 25 but there is some cushion here that will usually let you
register up to 30 phones;
Cisco Platform Maximum Total IP Phones
Cisco 2801 25
From this great series of docs;

Hi Huw,
You are most welcome my friend
Don't forget the UC540 8- user system can be upgraded via licensing
to support up to 32 users. The licenses are in increments of 8.
Cheers!

Cheers Rob - odd that they mention a total number of users - and then let you go past that amount..I'm speccing up a UC540 8 user system for someone else - but you can use the 2 supplimental remote office worker licences to run 10 IP phones on it - so yes it is a little 'fluffy'
2811 it is then!
Thanks!
