UC500 licensing

[hamed1900]

Hi All,

uc500 licensing is based on the user, for example 8, 16 and so on, so it means I can add as many as ephones that IOS allows  with "max-ephone" commnad. username under the ephone specifys the license limitation. (user is beng used if they want to check phone configuration with web, voicemail or extension mobility, jabber, etc)

However, in CME/SRST the license is based on the Phone?

Please could someone explain?

Thankls,

HM

UC500 and CME on ISR rotuers are different products, with different licensing schemes.

UC500: There are 30 licenses included by default (24 base + 4 FXS ports + 2 "teleworker"). Additional are sold in increments of 8. The UC520 (which is EOL), had a slightly different licensing scheme at one point, not sure on the details. In this case 1 license = 1 registered phone. You can configure as many as you want, but if more phones than you have licenses try to register -- they will fail.

CME: Per-phone licensing is NOT enforced in software at all; you can configure and use up to the max supported on the router model. You are however requried to purchase both a license for CME matching the amount of phones you want to use AND a per-phone license... these are simply "paper" licenses.
