Lync no longer needs to be treated like a Mobility device as the Acme SD acts more like a session management device at the top layer of the SIP network. The flexibility of local-policy based routing on the SBC using LDAP queries opens things up quite a bit. You can have a policy that takes an incoming call phones that may be a desk phone, query AD, and if the user also has a Lync number, route the call to Lync instead (if desired). If Lync is down hard, re-route the call to the IP PBX phone (if desired) or re-route the call back to the PSTN to the user's "mobile" number...if the mobile field is populated in Active Directory and has the next precedence in the local-policy. The flexibility is huge...and this is just one example. I'm looking forward to Acme's Lync Contact Center integration.. <div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Sep 10, 2012, at 9:46 AM, Matthew Berry wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">

<div>I'm naturally predisposed to Cisco products, but one this Microsoft has is its tight integration with Active Directory. I'm on a Jabber for Everyone project right now and the biggest pain points I've experienced is (a) Cisco's inability to effectively
manage end-user permissions via security groups in AD and (b) the requirement to have a softball call in place in order to screen-share (BFCP, provided by CUCM in on-prem).</div>

It's not something I would personally consider today, but having a big-picture view of the customer landscape,
it's pretty scary to see what's coming down the pipeline. When Lync 2013 is GA with H.264 video support and a mobile client that can make/receive calls, that is going to shake things up quite a bit. <o:p></o:p></div>

for those of us that have small office labs we're stuck. we need to reinstall every 90 days (6 months if we get the eval lic) but that's stall aggravating. Just when we get our lab where we need them to be we have to reinstall...? sure it's in line with other
competitors but those other competitors don't require 6+ servers make make up their portfolio. Cisco's licensing will be (and is currently) the bane of their product lines and that's from someone that's watching it unfold in the field.... There isn't a day
that goes by that I don't hear a customer bitching about licensing!! I know Cisco is TRYING to make licensing easier for the end user but screwing the partners at the same time is really the wrong way of doign it..... Just sayin...<o:p></o:p></div>

From what I saw, it does expire in a couple of days( I think 90 days) but the demo license does come preinstalled.<br>
