UC 500 - Phone Licensing

tsantos · ‎10-27-2009

It is not necessary to insert phone license in the UC500 devices? CP-5xx, 79xx, SPA 5x ....

That's correct. The IP Phone licenses are included for UC 500s. You don't need to purchase licenses, just purchase the IP Phones as spares.

Ok but lets just say i would like to add more ephone/dn licenses to a 16U system, am i allowed to upgrade how many phones can connect to the system?

I would like to upgrade this 16U system to a 24/28U license, without having to ugprade the physical box itself, can the UC500 16U with a BRI card in it support the expansion of licenses/users?

I really hope the answer is yes.

Cheers,

David.

Hi David,

That's a limitation on UC 520 platforms. If you have the desktop form factor system (8-user or 16-user system), it cannot be expanded beyond 16 + 2 floating licenses. To move to a 24-user system you will have to purchase the rack-mount system that scales from 24 to 64 users. We've overcome this limitation on UC 540 which can support a maximum of 32 users on the desktop form factor.
