hello All,

Regards

The Cisco Room Kit Pro does not need the AV integrator License.  This would be needed on the Bar Pro or Room Kit EQ, but not the Room Kit Pro Codec.  Also note you will need a networking switch to connect 6 Cisco Mic Pros as there are not that number of network connections available on the back of the codec.

dear Matt_W, 

thank you so much for the confirmation.

The November 2024 release of RoomOS also eliminated the AV integrator option key requirement for greater than three Cisco Microphone Pros on all other codec models. See the Release notes for RoomOS software

Thank you Jonathan for the information. I am assuming we would require the AV licenses in case we require the Audio console application? cos I am looking at deploying a codec EQ with 5 Mic Pros. Simple deployment nothing fancy required.

Yes, Audio Console and 3rd-party AES67 support still require the option key on the EQ & Bar Pro; they remain included on the Kit Pro, although that's older hardware.
