The number of Cisco licenses required by your organization will depend on the number of devices your organization will connect to the network. For example, if your organization has 1500 nurses and 600 shared devices, then 600 licenses are required.
Each physical device that connects direct to CUCM (rather than a SIP Trunk alternative) requires a CUCM “Enhanced” license. In these cases, the Vocera Edge device connects directly to CUCM as a 3rd Party Basic SIP device. If your licenses are of the type "User Connect Licensing", each device will utilize one "Enhanced" license. For example, if your organization has 1500 nurses and 600 shared devices connect direct to CUCM , then 600 licenses are required.
Care Role Forwarding extension numbers do not require any additional licenses.
For Cisco Unified Workspace Licensing (UWL) this equates to a Standard UWL or Professional UWL license. You may utilize either a "Standard" or "Professional" license.
We’ve highlighted a few examples in the figure below:
For example, a health system with 100 CUWL Professional licenses, where 89 of the devices are used by the Enhanced license requirement of the 3rd Party Basic SIP devices we have setup will appear as follows in the CUCM License Usage display:
