Hi Yasir,

You can install any version of CUCM as far as it is used to be for lab. Since 10 had been there for some time, will recommend to install anything in that train for which you can get the bootable media easily probably 10.5(2) SU2 or 10.5(2) SU2a.

In case you do not have a UCS server, then you will probably need to settle with version 8 or 9 CM as they can be installed on MCS as well

Hardware related details can be found below:

CUCM runs as a VM so if you just wanted a home LAB then use VMWare Workstation Player and obtain a demo licence from the Cisco Website. 

I run on a home lab on a dedicated ESX host but have used VMWare player before this and it worked fine.

Bear in mind CUCM needs 2-4GB of RAM on its own, you need to install with 4GB of RAM assigned to the guest I believe but you can scale it back to 2GB once the install has finished, it may not be very fast at 2GB though. 

In some cases, depending how many users and phones you have, you will need 8 GB of RAM.
