[cisco-voip] call manager licensing

[Ed Leatherman]

This is confusing and i've been struggling with it this year renewing
support. it's been a nightmare this year for some reason.

My understanding is:

ESW for CUCM is based on how many nodes you have and what type of
servers they are running on.. for example we have 6 nodes running CUCM
6.1 on 7845.

Note that ESW is purchased differently for other products. For UCCX it
is by the number of agents you have.

UCSS is based on how many users, which the definition is a little
fuzzy IMO. I've been going by number of registered IP Phones and Cisco
has seemed to be content with that.

Your partner or account team really should be able to explain this to
you.. but in my case I think they knew less than I did, which kinda
sucks - eventually they had to bring someone else from cisco into the
situation to sort it out.
