spring I have been confused about how CCM licensing from Cisco works, what is
really needed etc. I know I need DLU’s for phones and I
think I understand that. What confuses me is how the server nodes
are licensed and how ESW, UCSS is licensed. There is a persistent
reference to “number of users” however no where can I find a definition of
“user” for this purpose. Can anyone give me the “101” on call
manager licensing, ESW and UCSS? </span></strong><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"></span></p>
