Hi Seif,

Hope all is well!

Sadly no, this is one of the drawbacks of Business Edition installs. CUCM-BE is a single server "all in one" platform.

Cisco Unified Communications Manager has the unique ability to cluster multiple servers and manage them as a single entity, allowing customers and constituents to optimize reliability and scalability. Additionally, Cisco Unified Communications Manager comes with a host of innovative and robust features, including integration with Microsoft Outlook address books for simplified dialing, analysis, and reporting tools for detailed call records, a receptionist console, and conference calling.

***Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition is a single-server system that includes unified messaging services with Cisco Unity® Connection, call-processing services with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, and mobility services with Cisco Unified Mobility. This solution is suitable for medium-sized organizations consisting of between 200 and 500 users.

Hi Seif,

You are correct. The seats will be part of the "Node License" and will be uploaded to the 1st Node/Publisher/License Manager only.

As you know, you will require two different types of Licenses (Node License with seats that covers the number of proposed users and Device License Units/DLU's for phones);

**Licenses are generated for requested Cisco CallManager nodes (in your case 2) (the number of servers in a Cisco CallManager cluster - with seats *Node License) and the phones that are associated with those nodes (DLU's on a separate License).

***Note - Upload the license file only on the first node of Cisco CallManager cluster.

License File Contents

The license file contains the following information:

•Number of Cisco CallManager nodes that are licensed: This indicates number of Cisco CallManager servers in a cluster that are licensed to the customer.

•Versions of the Cisco CallManager that are supported.

•Number of phone units licensed: Instead of creating a separate license for each phone type, a concept of unit license is used. Each phone type corresponds to a fixed number of license units.

Here is an Example of Permanent CCM_Node licenses

# Optional usage agreement, legal language, tracking information

# Some other comments

The preceding license file includes the following information:

•No expiration date for this license exists as indicated by the keyword permanent.

•This license file provides three licenses for the version 5.0 of the feature CCM_NODES.

•The Cisco specific fieldLicFileID, identifies this license file.

•You can add multiple increment lines for same feature in a license file to increase the license count. None of the INCREMENT lines should be identical and each of them should be signed independently.
