Hello everyone!
We start using ELM for Call Manager Licensing and I just can not understand they way it works. I am used to DLUs and can not undertand the new scheme
Just to make is clear:
We have
Enhanced (9.x) - Unified CM Available - 180 Installed
Does it mean we can register 180 IP phones?
And we also have
Used - 8, Required
What is meant by Required?
Thank you!

Hi,
Installed means Total licenses available : 180
Required means Used :8
Unsed means Left or available to be used.
can u share from ELM--monitoring ---Dashboard /License Usage[Chart View] .You need to check the license usage where u get InCompliance status.

Hi,
I think u are using UCL Enhanced licences.180 means you can 180 devices are supported.
required means 180 are total/installed , out of which 8 have been used or required and 172 should ne UNUSED.
can u share the snapshot of license ?

Yes, sure, here are the snapshots
Still not sure what Required is. Is it just used or we require any other licence?

So, Total license 180 means I can register 180 devices?
Used: 8, but we have added 24 phones, why used is just 8?
The first screen shot is Dashboard /License Usage[Chart View] screenshot
Can you pls tell me what Unassigned Devices 24 means on the second screeshot?
And what is Enhanced, Basic and Essential?
Thank you!

No, CUCM 9 with ELM does not track devices directly it tracks users. With Enhanced UCL you can have a single device assigned with user (via device owner ID), with UCL Enhanced PLus 2 devices and with CUWL up to 10 devices.

Did not really understand.. What is Device Owner ID?
10-07-2013 06:28 AM
Field on the phone config page. For proper license tracking you need to ensure you select the owner of the phone (user) in that field. Otherwise all phones depending on a model will either be tracked and Essential, Basic or Enhanced users.

Ok, got that. This is it says Unassigned devices 24 - it means 24 phones are registered but were not assigned a user ID. Thanks!
If we dont utilize users, and as I can see we have 180 licenses, how many phones can we register?

Yes, it did not really helped..
10-07-2013 06:21 AM
Ok, Enhanced, Basic and Essential are types of phones, I got that
Still not sure about Unassigned Devices and these 2 questions
So, Total license 180 means I can register 180 devices?
Used: 8, but we have added 24 phones, why used is just 8?
