Hi Chi,
As per the CMS release notes:
Personal Multiparty plus is an all-in-one licensing offer for video conferencing. It allows users to host conferences of any size (within the limits of the Cisco Meeting Server hardware deployed). Anyone can join a meeting from any endpoint, and the license supports up to full HD 1080p60 quality video, audio, and content sharing.
Shared Multiparty plus (SMP plus) provides a concurrent license that is shared by multiple users who host video meetings infrequently. Shared Multiparty plus enables all employees who do not have Cisco UWL Meeting licenses to access video conferencing. It is ideal for customers that have room systems deployed that are shared among many employees. All employees, with or without a Cisco UWL Meeting license have the same great experience, they can host a meeting with their space, initiate an ad-hoc meeting or schedule a future one. Each shared host license supports one concurrent video meeting of any size (within the limits of the hardware deployed). Each Shared Multiparty plus license includes one Rich Media Session (RMS) license for the Cisco Expressway, which can be used to enable business-to–business (B2B) video conferencing.
When a meeting starts in a space, a Cisco license is assigned to the space. Which license is assigned by the Meeting Server is determined by the following rules:
>> if one or more members with a Cisco PMP plus license has joined a space, then one of their licenses will be used, if not, then
>> if the person that created the space (the owner) has a Cisco PMP plus license, then the license of that owner is assigned, if not, then
>> if present a Cisco SMP plus license is assigned.
