Cisco Call Manager 9 ELM question

[fgasimzade]

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!

Ok, Thank you, it makes more sence now.. But anyway, according to the snapshot below, we have 180 of some licence with 18 required. What does these numbers mean? Does it mean that I can register 180 up to Enhanced type IP phones? (including Basic and Essential?) And what does 18, 21 and 9 mean? Number of users I need to register for those phones?

It means you are entitled to 180Enhanced UCSL users (users with up to 2 devices), you have 18 such users currently provisioned and 132 still available. This does not mean you can have 180 such devices, it means you can have 180 users with 2 devices such as phone or softphone assigned to them or any 79XX, 89XX, 99XX phones.

The 21 and 9 are basic (69XX phone) and essential (3905, 6901 phone), since you don't have any of these licenses, they are being borrowed from the upper tier.

HTH,

Chris
