[cisco-voip] License Management

[Erick Bergquist]

This is a very good question. I don't have a answer but am finding
myself having to explain how user based licensing works 1-2 times a
month on average.  Usually when a client adds a device or such and
trips a system from In Compliance to Not Compliant and they see
warnings.

If you are loaning down a lot of CUWL to lower types then you can end
up shorting yourself.  a CUWL Standard is 10 devices basically,
Enhanced Plus is 2 devices (phone, Jabber, SNR). 3 phone types per
user crosses to CUWL Standard.  A phone by itself is enhanced for most
devices. I might not be 100% but this  is my rule of thumb from my
experience.

Don't know best answer, go heavy on Enhanced Plus over CUWL types if
most user configurations fall into Enh Plus type? IMHO... just from my
encounters in the real world.

Since you can't exactly easily migrate the part you've paid for between Enhanced, Plus, and CUWL (there's a part to go enh->cuwl  you can order), you have to be clear when adding new devices to a user (real) or "user" (generic) not to trip your counts, nor to waste money on extra parts and licenses you don't need.
