Hey folks,
I just thought I would jump in here as I LOVE licensing
discussions +5 to both Barry and Chris for their great info
here!
Here is an actual clip from a Cisco doc that no longer exists;
Device License Units (DLUs) are required for each device provisioned in Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Each provisioned device consumes some number of DLUs from the total licensed in Cisco Unified Communications Manager, based on the type of device and whether it is an Adjunct Device or not.
After determining how many devices will be provisioned in your system, see the table below to
identify how many DLU's are required.
Device Type - Cost in DLUs
Cisco VGC Phone (Voice Gateway Controlled, e.g. behind VG248)
Cisco VGC Virtual Phone (Voice Gateway Controlled, e.g. behind VG248)
Analog Phone
CTI Port
0 -DLU's
Cisco Unified IP Phone 7902
Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator
Cisco Unified Presence user
1 -DLU's
Cisco Unified IP Phone 7905, 7906G, 7910, _12_S, 12 SP, 12 SP Plus, 30 SP Plus ATA 186, 3911
Cisco Unified Mobility user (hardphone + mobile device) H.323 Client
2 -DLU's
Cisco Unified IP Phone 7911G, 7912, 7937
Cisco IP Communicator
Cisco Unified Personal Communicator
3 -DLU's
Cisco Unified IP Phone 7920, 7921, 7925, 7931G
Cisco Unifed Mobility user (MobileConnect only - no hardphone)
4 -DLU's
Cisco Unified IP Phone 7935, 7936
3 -DLU's
Cisco Unified IP Phone 7940, 7941, 7941G-GE, 7942G, 7945G, 7960, 7961, 7961GGE,
7962G, 7965G

Third-party SIP Device (Basic) 3 -DLU's
Third-party SIP Device (Advanced)6 -DLU's
Third-party Dual-mode Mobile Device 6-DLU's
Other Phone 5 -DLU's
LIC-CM-DL-10 Unified CM Device License- 10 units
LIC-CM-DL-100= Unified CM Device License - 100 units
LIC-CM-DL-500= Unified CM Device License - 500 units
LIC-CM-DL-1000= Unified CM Device License - 1,000 units
LIC-CM-DL-5000= Unified CM Device License - 5,000 units
To me, this says, if no DLU licenses are required, that can only mean
that you've already paid for them as part of the hardware bundle.
You shouldn't have to pay twice for the same license
Have a look at this thread and the answer from Mahesh @ Cisco;

And see the attached "Cisco provided - license unit calculator" and I think we'll see the
same 0 DLU's for analog devices;
We currently have 10 VG248's in use and are planning our upgrade to
9.x so this will definitely bite us as well........UGH
Cheers!
