cucme license CUBE vs phone license

[wuliting]

hi all,

for CUCME at ISR 4431 bundle with CUBE 25.

if I have 100/200 IP phones, is there any bigger bundle for the CUBE license?

do I still need to purchase license for phone. I am using 8000 series ip phone.

whats the main different for phone license and Cube license?

thank you.

CME and CUBE are two different components/features within the IOS and both need different RTU licenses. What do you plan to use this as - CUBE or CME ?

Hi Nipun,

CUCME need to use as phone server for ip phone.

the ip phones include non cisco phone, and cisco 8000 series phone.

what kind of license should I need?

For CME, you need uck9 license and FL-CME-SRST license as well. The latter is RTU only and will be directly proportional to the number of users/phones you have.

Hi Nipun,

thanks for your reply.

I couldn't found any uck9 license at the built and price website.

could you advice how to purchase or check the price for the license?

The FL-CME-SRST license is stated under product family 2900. is this same family as 4400series router too?

thank you.

There should be a line item SKU for uck9 - "SL-44-UC-K9". This would be for ISR4400 series. Also, the FL-CME-SRST license should be line item as well. You would need this for ISR4k as well. These are RTU only. You are paying to use the feature. You won't get a license file for it.

from my checking,

SRST for failover only, am I right?

If only using SRST license without the CUCME Phone License, will it work?

thank you

The SKU applies to both CME and SRST. You can use either but will pay for a single license. Like I said, this license is RTU only. You won't install any license file on the router. You are only paying for Right to Use (RTU).
