[cisco-voip] 9.1.2 'owner' field

[Tim Smith]

Hey mate,

If you go to 9.1(2) and just use EM and have phones without owner ids then you should be ok. I.e phones will consume ess lic

If you use EM and softphones, jabber, mobility etc + scenario above, then you will end up with phones consuming lic, and no CUWL lic left for those other features.

For this, you just need to explain the scenario to licensing team and they will issue extra lic at no cost and not added to your maintenance.

Don't worry about owner ids in this scenario, it is completely unworkable from maintenance point of view.

I have spent a bunch of time going back and forth with licensing and SEs on this, and this is the working solution right now.

Make sure you start your lic case before your upgrade.

Cheers,

Tim

That's what I suspected.  It is like leaving owner user id blank in previous versions.

I hesitate to go to licensing to adjust license counts to accomodate our EM environment but then again I don't want to have to assign a user ID to 4000 phones either.  Both have the potential to turn ugly.

Not sure where the documentation is right now, but it ties devices to users if a device has an owner defined then all the devices that have that user as owner get added up and determined if they user is using essential/basic/enhanced/enhanced+/cuwl std/cuwl pro
If the field is set to anonymous then the  device type is looked up and matched to essential/basic/enhanced.

My google-fu must be off.

Can anyone point me to documentation for CCUCM 9.1.2 that describes how the new 'Owner' phone configuration item impacts licensing?
