Hi Mark,
Good question
The number 4 is really 4 DLU's (Device License Units) for CUCM 5.x, 6.x and 7.x
set ups.
DLU's are related to Phone Licenses and are weighted
based upon the IP Phone model being utilised. The higher the model the higher the number
of DLU's.
The table below shows how to identify how many DLU's are required per phone model.
