Key Points • Use the Cisco Configuration Tool • It will always be the most accurate way of ordering • When changes are made - it changes first • Quote Builder and Solution Expert change later • Be Sure to Choose the Right Version and Quantity • The choices determine the disks and licensing we ship • If you don’t know, always choose quantity one of the latest version • The Product Upgrade Tool can be used to add more copies later
Choose the Number and Type of Users • This example is for Professional Edition, but the same applies to Standard or Entry Editions • The minimum number of total users (any combination of Standard, Professional and Entry – they can be mixed) is 100
Choose the Appropriate UCSS • The quantity entered must be identical to the number of users entered or the tool will present an error • You must order a 3-year contract unless your customer is a government or educational institution that is prohibited from entering into multi-year contracts • The monthly SKU is used for ensuring co-termination – multiply the number of users by the number of months and put the total in the box UCSS = Unified Communications Software Subscription
Choose the Conferencing Options (PRO) • The quantity you need to enter is the number of SERVER LICENSES needed for your design. So if your design includes to MPE servers, you should enter quantity 2 here • This is NOT the number of user or ports
Choose the Clients • All quantities above are the number of users for any particular client • The number of CUVA cannot exceed the total combined number of Standard and Professional users • The combination of IPC, UPC and MOC integrations cannot exceed the total combined number of Standard and Professional users • The number of CUMC clients cannot exceed the number of Professional users
Choose the UC Manager Version and Qty • All quantities above are the number servers in your UC Manager design (e.g. If you plan to deploy 3 nodes, order quantity 3) – choose the appropriate version from the Item Category menu on the left • Choose the appropriate server class and total number of server instances in your cluster • If the customer’s design changes, the Product Upgrade Tool can be used to order more server licenses at no charge.

Unified Workspace Licensing Delivery • For new orders, a single folder will be shipped to the customer (it is important that the customer keep this folder in a safe place). • All media will be included in the folder. • All Product Activation Key (PAK) claim certificates will be in the folder and clearly identified. • Instructions will be provided to activate licenses and UCSS subscription (it is important that the customer activates their subscription to obtain upgrades). • A cover letter will be included in the folder welcoming the customer to Cisco Unified Workspace Licensing • Terms and conditions for Cisco Unified Workspace Licensing will alsobe included for your customer’s review • Addons utilize e-delivery and will be purelyelectronic UCSS = Cisco Unified Communications Software Subscription
License Activation • A link is provided to the activation web page. • MAC addresses of the various Cisco MCS and MeetingPlace hardware is needed to activate licenses. • Partial activation is supported. Customers can place some licenses on server A and some on server B. • Licenses can also be moved from one server to another by e-mailing licensing@cisco.comwhich opens a service request with the licensing team.
What is Partial Activation? • Method of Activating Only Some of the License • Say you order 4 Unity 96-port servers and 7200 users • All that information is delivered in ONE PAK • You want: • Server A to contain 1000 mailboxes • Server B to contain 3000 mailboxes • Server C to contain 1000 mailboxes • Server D to contain 2200 mailboxes • Partial activation allows you to activate in this fashion • Each MAC address can be activated with a certain number of ports and user
Process for Migrating Users • When migrating customers from Unified CM and/or Unity, you will no longer get new licenses for servers/nodes • You will still receive DLUs for Unified CM to allow for deployment of Unified Workspace Licensing capabilities • Continue using existing licenses that customer has already purchased • If an upgrade is desired, activate UCSS and acquire upgrade via product upgrade tool
License Enforcement • Unified Workspace Licensing leverages the existing license enforcement mechanisms in each of the products • In the future, products will become “Unified Workspace Licensing aware.” At that point, additional enforcement will happen. If you fail to comply with the rules today, the customer may be impacted in the future. • Cisco Unified Workspace Licensing Standard Edition provides: • DLUs for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 5.x/6.x (Phone, Presence, Mobility, Soft Client) • Cisco Unity/Unity Connection mailboxes • Cisco Unified Workspace Licensing Professional Edition provides: • DLUs for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Phones, Presence, Mobility, Soft Clients) • Cisco Unity/Unity Connection mailboxes • Cisco Unified Mobility Advantage license • Cisco Unified MeetingPlace/MeetingPlace Express web (25:1 ratiouser:port ratio) • Cisco Unified Contact Center ExpressStandard Agents (25:1 user:agent ratio)
A note on DLUs • Unified Workspace Licensing is a user-based license; not a DLU-based one • You never need to count DLUs again with Unified Workspace Licensing • While Unified Workspace Licensing Standard Edition ships with 11 DLUs and Unified Workspace Licensing Professional Edition with 17 DLUs, this is unimportant • If you have extra DLUs, you may not re-use them for other phones or users • If you need more DLUs simply email cuwl-support@external.cisco.com and provide a justification and they will be provided • If you are still positioning DLU counting with your customer, you have missed an important value with Unified Workspace Licensing
Overcoming Obstacles • “I don’t need all the applications included in Workspace Licensing: • The combination of products included in Unified Workspace Licensing represents only a small uplift per user–small enough to justify investment. • Unified Workspace Licensing includes all of the server software, which when spread over the total number of users, lowers the amount of the uplift • “I already own some of the software included in Workspace Licensing: • Unified Workspace Licensing also includes the addition of new server software licenses for clusters that grow as well as upgrades • Migration SKUs offer significant discount for those who already own Cisco UC components • Unified Workspace Licensing includes many new applications that extended the productivity of the workforce • “Why do I need the 3 year UCSS required in Workspace Licensing?” • Unified Workspace Licensing UCSS gives you the flexibility to get the newest versions of applications if and when you need them • Unified Workspace Licensing UCSS also gives you new applications that are added to the package, meaning your investment in Workspace Licensing gains more value over time UCSS = Cisco Unified Communications Software Subscription
Migration of Existing Unified Communications Software Subscription and Essential Operate Service
Ordering Subscription and Service forCisco Unified Workspace Licensing • All Unified Workspace Licensing orders must include at least and 3 years of UCSS* at the time of purchase and a minimum of 12months of ESW for UCSS to be activated • Contract activation leverages an automated process that expects these minimums; they cannot be pro-rated for co-termination • The buyer can indicate that this is additional product to be added to an existing ESW or UCSS contract • Standard ordering process and contract activation requirements apply • If no existing contract is designated, the order will generate a new contract number under standard business practices. • SMARTnet (SNT) must be ordered separately for the hardware and phones*1-yr contracts are allowed for government and education institutions.
