How to License Expressway C and E

[mdrangell22]

Hello Guys 

I have the following amount of licenses for expressway C and E but I don't know exactly how many I have to add for each one

4  LIC-SW-EXP-K9

1  LIC-EXP-E-PAK

2  LIC-EXP-ROOM         FOR EXP-E

2  LIC-EXP-E                 FOR EXP-E

2  LIC-EXP-TURN          FOR EXP-E

4  LIC-EXP-SERIES        FOR EXP-E AND C

2  LIC-EXP-AN              FOR EXP-E

4  LIC-EXP-GW             FOR EXP-E AND C

110 LIC-EXP-DSK         FOR EXP-E

My questions are how many liceses do i have to add to each expressway? for example the 4 LIC-EXP-SERIES do i have to add 2 for Expressway C and 2 for Expressway E and the same for 4 LIC-EXP-GW 2 for Expressway C and 2 for Expressway E?

The rest of licenses for Expressway E where there are 2 of each one should I have to add 2 of the each licenses or just 1? and I suposse I have to add the 110 LiIC-EXP-DSK for Expressway E?

It might help if you start by telling what you intend to use the Expressway system for? To mention a few use cases there is MRA, B2B, device registration (VCS), Webex hybrid services. Which one are you intending to use?

@mdrangell22here is the breakdown of the usage.

The expressway series just turn the server from VCS (default) to actual Expressway series.  VCS is no longer used so you need 1 license per expressway server you installed.

Are you allowing endpoints to register to your expressways?  Can you provide more details on how you want your expressways to operate?
