Buying models

Collaboration Flex 3.0 Contact Center offers a Concurrent Agent buying model with Standard and Premium agent types for all platforms. Supervisors for all platforms require a Premium Agent type. You may mix both Standard and Premium Agent types in your subscription.

Webex Contact Center also offers a Named Agent buying model with Standard and Premium agent types. Supervisors for all platforms require a Premium Agent type. You may mix both Standard and Premium Agent types in your subscription, though you may not mix Named and Concurrent Agent buying models.

The on-premises deployment does not have overage SKUs available. On-premises customers who exceed their license counts in their Smart Account can bring their systems back into compliance by modifying their subscription to add new licenses or by adding a second subscription to cover temporary overconsumption. For cloud deployment models, the overage feature is included with the product, and overage SKUs will automatically be added to the subscription. Usage for products that include overage will be reported on a monthly basis and billed in arrears.

Upon reasonable request from Cisco, you will assist and make information available to Cisco to facilitate verification of the number of Software as a Service (SaaS) or software licenses that you have installed, accessed, deployed, or activated.
