Cisco RMS (Rich Media Session) License Usage

[Ovindo Prastyo Utomo]

Hi All,

I have one question regarding RMS license consumption.

I have cisco UC environment with below :

CUCM v11.5

CUP v11.5

Expressway Core v8.8.3

Expressway Edge v8.8.3

My CUCM configured using mixed mode, 

all of our user devices (IP Phone, Jabber, and Endpoint) using secure encrypted profile,

and all calls both from local and internet are encrypted calls.

From that scenario, do I need to purchase a pair of RMS license for each call from client that located from internet?

If yes please provide me some cisco's document that explain that, because i've try to search that document but i cant find it.

Regards,

Ovindo

You only need rich media licenses for B2B calls, if these calls are from remove Jabber or desk phone  no licenses are required when Expressway is properly configured for MRA.  Also, since your Expressway is version 8.8 when purchasing rich media licenses you no longer need them for Exp-C only Exp-E.

Unless you want to do Interworking, then you need an RMS on your C server for each concurrent interworked call.  Licensing is loads of fun.  Just now implementing B2B alongside MRA and we have a need for interworking as well until everyone finally gets off H.323!
