Hi Hamid,

I'm sorry that I didn't realize you were ordering Unity Connection 8.x

Licensing

All user and interoperability functions are offered under a single, low-cost user license

that you can use for either voicemail or integrated messaging. Port capacity,

failover and redundancy licensing, and Speech Connect for Cisco
Unity Connection are included in this base license.

Hi Hamid,

Yes

There is no longer a separate charge for high availability and ports, but they are still licensed based on the
server/overlay that runs Unity Connection. The number of ports enabled on a system is controlled by the maximum
supported quantity allowed by the server/overlay. For example, an MCS-7835 supports up to 100 ports and the
license key will reflect this.

This bundling of the advanced-user function and HA/ports dramatically simplifies the design and ordering of a system
and aligns with the Cisco Unified Workspace Licensing model.

Cheers!
