UC520 licensing confusion

Bill.Lopez · ‎01-10-2009

I am continue to get confusing information regarding licensing. My scenario is this : I have a law firm that needs 9 phones active. I have been told I can use 1 8 port UC520 and 1 8 port CE520 switch.

The reason: The 8 port 520 comes with 15 voice mail licenses, and 2 teleworker licenses.

Is this correct or do I have to use a 16 user UC520?

Thanks-

Hi Bill,

Please review the following link for additional license information (Phone and Voicemail) for UC500:

https://www.myciscocommunity.com/docs/DOC-1445#nbsp_How_many_mailboxes_are_supported_on_the_8user_16user_24user_32user_and_48user_models_of_UC500_

You can use an 8U system, but your statement is not completely correct though. You can have up to 10 VM licenses on an 8U system, so you are good using that. Go with an 8U license for now, and purchase a 16U one in the future when your customer's business grows.

Thanks,

Marcos
