Introduction
Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solution (Cisco HCS) uses a unique license model for the Cisco Unified
Communications (UC) applications and management tools that make up Cisco HCS. Rather than requiring a
separate, individual license per Cisco UC application and management tool, Cisco HCS uses license bundles
to create a solution license model. Unlike traditional product licenses that are applied on a per-application or
per-tool basis, solution licenses are applied and maintained through Cisco HCS. This solution license model
applies only to Cisco HCS and is for Cisco HCS partners only. The licenses described in this document cannot
be ordered for any other solution, partner, or use.
Licensing for data center infrastructure (for example, CUBE, ASA, and Nexus) is not covered in this document.
Obtain these licenses separately as part of the infrastructure. For more information, see the Cisco Hosted
Collaboration Solution, Release 10.6(1) Solution Reference Network Design Guide.

User, Device, and Concurrent Licenses

Cisco HCS licenses are applied on a per-user, per-device, concurrent, or session basis depending upon the
particular license.
A user is an end-user profile that has access to functionality within Cisco HCS. A Cisco HCS end-user profile
accesses Cisco HCS functionality through a phone, soft client, mobile client, fixed mobile convergence device,
or Extension Mobility profile.

 Cisco HCS License Model
Cisco HCS License Types

Note The primary Cisco HCS management and application license bundles are applied on a per-user basis.

A device is a unique, individual device (for example, IP phone or TelePresence endpoint) that has access to
features and functionality within the Cisco HCS. Device-specific licensing generally applies to add-on licenses.
Multiple users or devices share a concurrent license. The terms for concurrent use define a user or device that
can use the license at any given time. In general, the use of concurrent licenses is confined to certain workloads
such as Contact Center, or the use of specialized technology or shared resources.
Session licenses are functionally the same as concurrent licenses: a user or device that can use the license at
any given time. Cisco Expressway Remote Media session add-on license is an example of a session-based
license.
Unless stated otherwise, the information in this guide assumes a user-based license.

Cisco HCS License Types

There are three types of Cisco HCS licenses to consider in every deployment:
• Management License
• Application License
• Add-on License

The management and application licenses are offered as a single bundle to facilitate easier license management.
A license bundle contains the necessary licenses for tools, applications, and functionality associated with the
bundle.
Management licenses cover all management tools included as part of Cisco HCS. The management tools focus
on operational efficiency and customer service, from initial implementation and services activation to ongoing
provisioning and service assurance. The following table describes the management tools in the Cisco HCS
framework.

Table 1: Cisco HCS Management Tools

such as upgrade management, billing mediation, license management,
automation of virtual machine provisioning, and identity management.
Comprehensive voice, video, and Contact Center management system
with monitoring, troubleshooting, and reporting capabilities that help
users receive consistent, high-quality video and voice collaboration.

Application licenses cover all the Cisco UC applications within Cisco HCS. The following table describes
the Cisco UC applications in the Cisco HCS framework.

voice messaging, screen sharing, and conferencing.

Add-on licenses are licenses for applications and features that are not included within a specific application
license bundle. Because the add-on licenses provide extra functionality to specific application bundles to
match specific customer needs, one application license is needed for each add-on license. The following table
describes the non-Cisco UC applications in the Cisco HCS framework.

"Public Sector Customer" means country, state, regional or local authority, public and private primary and
secondary schools and higher education institutions, a body governed by public law, an association formed
by one or several of such authorities or one or several of such bodies governed by public law.
Cisco also offers Public Sector migration licenses, which allow a partner to upgrade an end-customer's license
type:
• From Basic to Foundation
• From Basic to Standard
• From Foundation to Standard

When migration licenses are ordered, a PAK is sent to the customer with instructions to contact
hcs-license@cisco.com. The customer requests new licenses and asks to retire the old licenses. Given the

Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solution, Release 10.6(1) License Management

7
 Cisco HCS License Model
Cisco HCS Management License Options

manual nature of this process, it is preferable to consolidate upgrades on one order rather than sending smaller
individual orders.
The Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solution (HCS) Public Sector Ordering Details form must be completed for
every order that includes Cisco HCS Public Sector part numbers. This information is used to confirm that the
Cisco HCS end customer qualifies for Public Sector pricing. The partner that is deploying services to a public
sector customer prepares the license order. The customer's Cisco sales contact works with the customer to
complete and submit the form.
The Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solution (HCS) Public Sector Ordering Details form can be found here:
http://cs.co/HCSPublicSector. Because the form must be filled out and submitted by a Cisco representative,
it is only accessible by Cisco employees.

Cisco HCS Management License Options

The Cisco HCS management license bundle provides user-based licensing for the mandatory management
tools in the Cisco HCS management framework. These tools are described in the following table.

Table 6: Cisco HCS 10.x Management Tools

Tool Description
Service Fulfillment
Cisco Unified Communications Domain Provisions Unified Communications applications and services
Manager for subscribers.

Note Cisco Hosted Collaboration Mediation Fulfillment and Cisco Unified Communications Domain Manager
do not support HCSLE.

Cisco Emergency Responder License Compliance

Cisco Emergency Responder sends licensing requirements to Cisco Prime License Manager and attempts to
discover all phones on Cisco Unified Communications Manager, excluding subnets not tracked by Cisco
Emergency Responder. Cisco Prime License Manager computes the license requirements for all connected
Cisco Emergency Responder product instances and compares the total license requirements to the total available
installed licenses.
When upgrading from Cisco Emergency Responder Release 10.0 to 10.5(1), also upgrade the Cisco Emergency
Responder license from Release 10.x to Release 10.5. If these new licenses are not installed within 60 days
of upgrading, the Cisco Emergency Responder system is affected in the following ways:
• Does not track or update unlicensed phone locations.
• Does not support unlicensed phones.
• Enters noncompliance mode.
• Generates email alerts and GUI warnings.

contract for Cisco Unified Communications Manager for Cisco HCS 10.x. Cisco HCS Foundation and Cisco
HCS Standard license bundles support remote and mobile access Jabber Unified Communications clients.
These bundles also support MX, EX, and C-Series Cisco TelePresence endpoints that use Cisco Expressway.
Remote access is not available for users with Cisco HCS Basic application licenses because this license bundle
does not support soft phones. Nor does the license bundle support endpoints that support rich media features.

Cisco Expressway Rich Media Session License

Concurrent call sessions that terminate on systems that do not use Cisco Unified Communications Manager,
Business Edition, or Cisco HCS require a Cisco Expressway Rich Media Session (RMS) license. Examples
of such calls include business-to-business calls and Jabber Guest calls.

Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solution, Release 10.6(1) License Management

12
 Cisco HCS License Model
Cisco Jabber Guest

Also, each concurrent call that requires interworking also requires a Cisco Expressway Rich Media Session
license. Examples of such calls include H.264 SVC-to-H.264 AVC calls. The RMS license is a concurrent
license.
For Shared Expressway deployments, which are primarily for business to business dialing, the Rich Media
Session license is shared across tenants. One license is consumed for every call that transverses the shared
media Expressways.

Enhanced Microsoft Collaboration Key for Cisco Expressway

Enhanced Microsoft Collaboration Key for Cisco Expressway is an add-on to enable Microsoft Lync Gateway
functionality. This functionality allows video endpoints to make calls to and receive calls from Microsoft
Lync clients. One interop key license is required per Expressway-C server. Cisco Expressway Rich Media
Session licenses are also required to support voice and video sessions between Cisco endpoints and Lync
clients.

Note At least one Expressway Rich Media Session license is required with each Enhanced Microsoft
Collaboration Key license.
