CME license

[wael azzam]

For CME solution with 40 IP phone ,If I use 3 x     FL-CME-SRST-5  , is it enough ,or i must also use 40  user license  ??

From the technical view , by using only 3 x     FL-CME-SRST-5   ,   the 40 phones will register and work or not??

You will only be able to get 15 phones registered through this license in SRST mode. If you need 40 phones to work in SRST then either go for 8 x FL-CME-SRST-5 or 2 x FL-CME-SRST-25 license. There is no part number for 40 phones, check below Data Sheet:

Thanks for help Deepak ,

I used 3 x FL-CME-SRST-5 as it is new system so i will get  one FL-CME-SRST-25 included .

But is it mandatory to purchase 40 user license like  sw-ccme-ul-basic  plus the feature license ( FL-CME-SRST-5 or FL-CME-SRST-25) 

meaning that the phone need feature license and also user license to work ,is that true ??

Hi,

CME Licenses are honor based and no file need to be installed on gateway to make ip phones work.

The only limitation is number of ip phones you can register based on hardware version.

Here is a reference doc where you can find how many ip phones your gateway will be able to register
