CUCME Licensing Question

[adham_tahoun]

Hi

Can any one explain to me, why should we pay 3 times to add one Phone to CUCME:

1. System License (FL-CME)
2. Phone License ()
3. Cisco IP Phone itself

I can understand and convince the customer of 1 and 3, but still, cannot understand or convince him why he has to pay again for SW-CCME-UL-XXXX with this big amount of money per phone.

If it is RTU license, does it mean I cannot buy it and still the solution considered as workable? sometimes when we propose in tenders and\or competing against other vendors (i.e. Avaya), those license -if removed- will assure a much lower cost on the total value

The Question is: is SW-CCME-UL-XXXX license is a must to purchase or not?

Thanks for any one's help

Hi Aman

We are losing against other vendors because of the huge amount we offer for the liceneses, if I did not buy them, will we still get a technically workable solution ?

Thank you

Hi Adham,

As my friend Aman noted (+5), this is a "legal" commitment but it

is based on the "honor" system so technically speaking everything

will work without these licenses.

Cheers!
