Features and capabilities
Cisco understands that the collaboration needs of customers vary across organizations and they depend on individual workers' collaboration requirements. As such, Cisco offers flexible licensing options to meet those varying needs. Each Cisco license includes soft clients, applications server software, and collaboration licensing on a per-user basis.
Cisco Unified Communications 10.x and 11.0 Licensing Options
Both offers include soft clients, applications server software, and licensing on a per-user basis, and allow for a more comprehensive unified communications experience than the UCL licensing.
Cisco User Connect Licensing (UCL)
Cisco User Connect Licensing (UCL) provides per-user based licensing for individual Cisco Unified Communications applications, including the applications server software, user licensing, and a soft client. User Connect Licensing is available in Essential, Basic, Enhanced, and Enhanced Plus versions.
Cisco Unified Workspace Licensing (UWL)
Cisco Unified Workspace Licensing (UWL) provides the most popular Cisco Collaboration applications and services in a cost-effective, simple package. There are two Cisco Unified Workspace Licensing offers available, depending on your needs: Professional Edition and Standard Edition. Professional Edition now includes comprehensive, unlimited participant video conferencing with Personal Multiparty video at no additional cost.
Both of these offers include soft clients, applications server software, and licensing on a per-user basis, and allow for a more comprehensive unified communications experience than the UCL licensing.
Licensing Administration Portal
The License Administration Portal is a set of self-service tools that provide reporting and license administration for your collaboration needs. If your needs are not met through the License Administration Portal there are three ways to open a case with the Cisco Global Licensing Operation (GLO), which is open 24 hours a day every day. They include:
Cisco TAC Support Case Manager
Select the appropriate technology and sub-technology (be sure to select "Licensing" listed under "Type of Problem"). This is the preferred and most efficient method to open severity three cases.
Cisco Technical Support
For urgent situations call the appropriate number for your location from the worldwide contact list.
Licensing Support
Troubleshoot common licensing issues and leverage easy-to-follow documentation for both PAK-based or Smart Licenses. Or, engage Licensing Support by opening a case, calling Cisco or chatting with Ask Licensing.
