UCCX Flex Licensing
All,

Anyone already deal with this themselves? I am reading/being told
something I cannot swallow as the truth, because it seems so ridiculous.

I am being told that you need a Premium license to even login as a
Supervisor at all. Like, not for extra functionality (silent monitoring),
but just as a basic license requirement to even sign in.

Also, I am being told a Premium license is required for Administrative
users too. Like, even the app admin account. So what, completing a fresh
install now requires a Premium license?

Are either of these true? Can you confirm from your own tests that this is
in fact how Flex works in UCCX on-prem?
Re: UCCX Flex Licensing [ In reply to ]
Pretty sure when buying as A-Flex-CC that it always just gives you Premium
licensing on the CCX side. Had this cause an issue with a customer that
was staying on Enhanced for the extra CTI ports for many years.

This was the information I heard as well, and the purchase quantities are based on feature utilization and concurrency.

Re: UCCX Flex Licensing [ In reply to ]
Thanks for replying Brian, you're always a good resource for me to lean on.

I've seen Standard CC Flex out there, so maybe that's newer. But also yes,
the fact that they now charge for each non-premium port has some large
consequences for customers who've deployed CallBack and/or Self Service
IVRs, for which a 1:2 agent:port ratio will not solve.

Under UCCX Flex you also cannot just buy a port, like you can with UCCE
Flex, and so, you just gotta sell more agents a la perpetual UCCX Premium
days.

Re: UCCX Flex Licensing [ In reply to ]
It seems to be the same license consumption as before from what I've seen
but just they only give you Premium licenses now.

Re: UCCX Flex Licensing [ In reply to ]
A-FLEX-CC has Standard and Premium Licenses.

These are different from non flex licensing.

Standard is inbound agent licensing essentially

Premium is supervisor licensing, email/chat agents, outbound campaign licensing.

2 CTI ports per agent/license.

Admin still works no specific license needed as long as admin isn’t also supervisor/agent, HA is included, outside of the 3 features above, it’s like perpetual premium with SQL, etc included.

See here for specifics:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/unified-communications/cisco-collaboration-flex-plan/datasheet-c78-741220.html Table 8.


License enforcement is only in UCCX 12.5. Older versions don’t know and you end up with Perpetual Premium with HA feature set but with a license that expires at the end of your contract term.

Suffice it to say if you don’t need 12.5 features you could ride the gravy train for a while.

Licensing is still concurrent users.

There are grace periods so if you need to test something you can make the admin a supervisor or something w/o breakage, just remember to remove later.

If your customer has on-prem premium, with perpetual trade-in credits you are close to the cost of SWSS and should probably try and get them to move.

My man! Always coming through! So, the Supervisor one is true but the
admin one is bogus, right? I mean, about the Premium requirement for each.

So, what is still confusing to me is, in the past, the Premium seat also
got you 2 premium IVR ports. Does a standard flex seat get you 2 standard
ivr ports? Thus, a mized std/pre felx deal is going to net you a mixed
std/pre port solution? How does that work?

Re: UCCX Flex Licensing [ In reply to ]
You need to dissociate flex std/prem from L-CCX std/pre. Every feature on flex is the equivalent of the L-CCX premium level from a capabilities standpoint.

Does that make sense?

Re: UCCX Flex Licensing [ In reply to ]
Why did they have to borrow the same names for the licensing levels? It's
like when Cisco decided to call UCCX CAD+Finesse Mixed mode, while on CUCM
mixed mode already meant secure communications. Anyway.

Ok, so, a port is a port in Flex? There is no concept of a premium port or
a standard port then? Any kind of inbound port can do any kind of
feature? The only licensing levels are for Agent/Supervisor capabilities?

Re: UCCX Flex Licensing [ In reply to ]
A port is a port.

Chat/Email and Advanced Outbound Campaigns (predictive/progressive dialing) require Flex Premium so agents doing those functions would need premium.

Why did they have to borrow the same names for the licensing levels? It's like when Cisco decided to call UCCX CAD+Finesse Mixed mode, while on CUCM mixed mode already meant secure communications. Anyway.

Ok, so, a port is a port in Flex? There is no concept of a premium port or a standard port then? Any kind of inbound port can do any kind of feature? The only licensing levels are for Agent/Supervisor capabilities?

There are grace periods so if you need to test something you can make the admin a supervisor or something w/o breakage, just remember to remove later.



If your customer has on-prem premium, with perpetual trade-in credits you are close to the cost of SWSS and should probably try and get them to move.

I am being told that you need a Premium license to even login as a Supervisor at all. Like, not for extra functionality (silent monitoring), but just as a basic license requirement to even sign in.



Also, I am being told a Premium license is required for Administrative users too. Like, even the app admin account. So what, completing a fresh install now requires a Premium license?



Are either of these true? Can you confirm from your own tests that this is in fact how Flex works in UCCX on-prem?

Why did they have to borrow the same names for the licensing levels? It's like when Cisco decided to call UCCX CAD+Finesse Mixed mode, while on CUCM mixed mode already meant secure communications. Anyway.

Ok, so, a port is a port in Flex? There is no concept of a premium port or a standard port then? Any kind of inbound port can do any kind of feature? The only licensing levels are for Agent/Supervisor capabilities?

Pretty sure when buying as A-Flex-CC that it always just gives you Premium licensing on the CCX side. Had this cause an issue with a customer that was staying on Enhanced for the extra CTI ports for many years.

I am being told that you need a Premium license to even login as a Supervisor at all. Like, not for extra functionality (silent monitoring), but just as a basic license requirement to even sign in.



Also, I am being told a Premium license is required for Administrative users too. Like, even the app admin account. So what, completing a fresh install now requires a Premium license?



Are either of these true? Can you confirm from your own tests that this is in fact how Flex works in UCCX on-prem?

A port is a port.

Chat/Email and Advanced Outbound Campaigns (predictive/progressive dialing) require Flex Premium so agents doing those functions would need premium.

Why did they have to borrow the same names for the licensing levels? It's like when Cisco decided to call UCCX CAD+Finesse Mixed mode, while on CUCM mixed mode already meant secure communications. Anyway.

Ok, so, a port is a port in Flex? There is no concept of a premium port or a standard port then? Any kind of inbound port can do any kind of feature? The only licensing levels are for Agent/Supervisor capabilities?

My man! Always coming through! So, the Supervisor one is true but the admin one is bogus, right? I mean, about the Premium requirement for each.

So, what is still confusing to me is, in the past, the Premium seat also got you 2 premium IVR ports. Does a standard flex seat get you 2 standard ivr ports? Thus, a mized std/pre felx deal is going to net you a mixed std/pre port solution? How does that work?

A-FLEX-CC has Standard and Premium Licenses.



These are different from non flex licensing.



Standard is inbound agent licensing essentially



Premium is supervisor licensing, email/chat agents, outbound campaign licensing.



2 CTI ports per agent/license.



Admin still works no specific license needed as long as admin isn’t also supervisor/agent, HA is included, outside of the 3 features above, it’s like perpetual premium with SQL, etc included.



See here for specifics:



https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/unified-communications/cisco-collaboration-flex-plan/datasheet-c78-741220.html Table 8.





License enforcement is only in UCCX 12.5. Older versions don’t know and you end up with Perpetual Premium with HA feature set but with a license that expires at the end of your contract term.



Suffice it to say if you don’t need 12.5 features you could ride the gravy train for a while.



Licensing is still concurrent users.



There are grace periods so if you need to test something you can make the admin a supervisor or something w/o breakage, just remember to remove later.



If your customer has on-prem premium, with perpetual trade-in credits you are close to the cost of SWSS and should probably try and get them to move.

I mean I’d imagine the demand is just not there. Lots of places may not have contact centers and/or may need UCCE as well. It doesn’t make sense for a non core telephony feature to be included. It’s also almost always going to be at a much lesser seat count than the overall company seat count.

Yes, I’m going through the analysis right now to present benefit of going EA instead of yearly Smartnet for our Call Manager and UCCX licensing and the cost difference makes it really hard to say no when you look at the numbers over 3 or 5 year period

A port is a port.

Chat/Email and Advanced Outbound Campaigns (predictive/progressive dialing) require Flex Premium so agents doing those functions would need premium.

Why did they have to borrow the same names for the licensing levels? It's like when Cisco decided to call UCCX CAD+Finesse Mixed mode, while on CUCM mixed mode already meant secure communications. Anyway.

Ok, so, a port is a port in Flex? There is no concept of a premium port or a standard port then? Any kind of inbound port can do any kind of feature? The only licensing levels are for Agent/Supervisor capabilities?

My man! Always coming through! So, the Supervisor one is true but the admin one is bogus, right? I mean, about the Premium requirement for each.

So, what is still confusing to me is, in the past, the Premium seat also got you 2 premium IVR ports. Does a standard flex seat get you 2 standard ivr ports? Thus, a mized std/pre felx deal is going to net you a mixed std/pre port solution? How does that work?

A-FLEX-CC has Standard and Premium Licenses.



These are different from non flex licensing.



Standard is inbound agent licensing essentially



Premium is supervisor licensing, email/chat agents, outbound campaign licensing.



2 CTI ports per agent/license.



Admin still works no specific license needed as long as admin isn’t also supervisor/agent, HA is included, outside of the 3 features above, it’s like perpetual premium with SQL, etc included.



See here for specifics:



https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/unified-communications/cisco-collaboration-flex-plan/datasheet-c78-741220.html Table 8.





License enforcement is only in UCCX 12.5. Older versions don’t know and you end up with Perpetual Premium with HA feature set but with a license that expires at the end of your contract term.



Suffice it to say if you don’t need 12.5 features you could ride the gravy train for a while.



Licensing is still concurrent users.



There are grace periods so if you need to test something you can make the admin a supervisor or something w/o breakage, just remember to remove later.



If your customer has on-prem premium, with perpetual trade-in credits you are close to the cost of SWSS and should probably try and get them to move.

Also, I am being told a Premium license is required for Administrative users too. Like, even the app admin account. So what, completing a fresh install now requires a Premium license?

I mean I’d imagine the demand is just not there. Lots of places may not have contact centers and/or may need UCCE as well. It doesn’t make sense for a non core telephony feature to be included. It’s also almost always going to be at a much lesser seat count than the overall company seat count.

Why did they have to borrow the same names for the licensing levels? It's like when Cisco decided to call UCCX CAD+Finesse Mixed mode, while on CUCM mixed mode already meant secure communications. Anyway.

Ok, so, a port is a port in Flex? There is no concept of a premium port or a standard port then? Any kind of inbound port can do any kind of feature? The only licensing levels are for Agent/Supervisor capabilities?

You need to dissociate flex std/prem from L-CCX std/pre. Every feature on flex is the equivalent of the L-CCX premium level from a capabilities standpoint.

Does that make sense?

My man! Always coming through! So, the Supervisor one is true but the admin one is bogus, right? I mean, about the Premium requirement for each.

So, what is still confusing to me is, in the past, the Premium seat also got you 2 premium IVR ports. Does a standard flex seat get you 2 standard ivr ports? Thus, a mized std/pre felx deal is going to net you a mixed std/pre port solution? How does that work?

A-FLEX-CC has Standard and Premium Licenses.



These are different from non flex licensing.



Standard is inbound agent licensing essentially



Premium is supervisor licensing, email/chat agents, outbound campaign licensing.



2 CTI ports per agent/license.



Admin still works no specific license needed as long as admin isn’t also supervisor/agent, HA is included, outside of the 3 features above, it’s like perpetual premium with SQL, etc included.



See here for specifics:



https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/unified-communications/cisco-collaboration-flex-plan/datasheet-c78-741220.html Table 8.





License enforcement is only in UCCX 12.5. Older versions don’t know and you end up with Perpetual Premium with HA feature set but with a license that expires at the end of your contract term.



Suffice it to say if you don’t need 12.5 features you could ride the gravy train for a while.



Licensing is still concurrent users.



There are grace periods so if you need to test something you can make the admin a supervisor or something w/o breakage, just remember to remove later.



If your customer has on-prem premium, with perpetual trade-in credits you are close to the cost of SWSS and should probably try and get them to move.

I am being told that you need a Premium license to even login as a Supervisor at all. Like, not for extra functionality (silent monitoring), but just as a basic license requirement to even sign in.



Also, I am being told a Premium license is required for Administrative users too. Like, even the app admin account. So what, completing a fresh install now requires a Premium license?



Are either of these true? Can you confirm from your own tests that this is in fact how Flex works in UCCX on-prem?

Re: UCCX Flex Licensing [ In reply to ]
So I was basing this on documentation and my colleague saying we were good after our admin account was de-supervisored

However I am seeing contrary information in the one 12.5 install we have. CCX doesn’t have an auto update button/function so I’m waiting for things to cycle to verify

Further though the documentation does not say this at all:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/crs/express_12_5/features/guide/uccx_b_125features-guide/uccx_b_125features-guide_chapter_0111.html

Nor the ordering guide (partners only): https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/customer-collaboration/guide-c07-741219.html

And that is some garbage if true and needs to be fixed.

Re: UCCX Flex Licensing [ In reply to ]
I’m on a partner webcast now and asking about this. If you have premium flex licensing even the built-in admin requires a license! I’m beating them up on this as it’s still not documented anywhere and I’ve got customers on flex that will have issues when upgrading to 12.5

Thank you for the testing you're doing, and I look forward to the results.

So I was basing this on documentation and my colleague saying we were good after our admin account was de-supervisored

However I am seeing contrary information in the one 12.5 install we have. CCX doesn’t have an auto update button/function so I’m waiting for things to cycle to verify

Further though the documentation does not say this at all:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/crs/express_12_5/features/guide/uccx_b_125features-guide/uccx_b_125features-guide_chapter_0111.html

Nor the ordering guide (partners only): https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/customer-collaboration/guide-c07-741219.html

And that is some garbage if true and needs to be fixed.

Matthew,

I just got word from the Flex-CC owner, Kevin McPartlan, that Admins do require a Premium license. Can you prove this wrong in some way?

A-FLEX-CC has Standard and Premium Licenses.

These are different from non flex licensing.

Standard is inbound agent licensing essentially

Premium is supervisor licensing, email/chat agents, outbound campaign licensing.

2 CTI ports per agent/license.

Admin still works no specific license needed as long as admin isn’t also supervisor/agent, HA is included, outside of the 3 features above, it’s like perpetual premium with SQL, etc included.

See here for specifics:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/unified-communications/cisco-collaboration-flex-plan/datasheet-c78-741220.html Table 8.


License enforcement is only in UCCX 12.5. Older versions don’t know and you end up with Perpetual Premium with HA feature set but with a license that expires at the end of your contract term.

Suffice it to say if you don’t need 12.5 features you could ride the gravy train for a while.

Licensing is still concurrent users.

There are grace periods so if you need to test something you can make the admin a supervisor or something w/o breakage, just remember to remove later.

If your customer has on-prem premium, with perpetual trade-in credits you are close to the cost of SWSS and should probably try and get them to move.

But seriously, a premium license to administer the system? Does this include the appadministrator account too? Do you have first hand experience with it?

This was the information I heard as well, and the purchase quantities are based on feature utilization and concurrency.

Pretty sure when buying as A-Flex-CC that it always just gives you Premium licensing on the CCX side. Had this cause an issue with a customer that was staying on Enhanced for the extra CTI ports for many years.

All,

Anyone already deal with this themselves? I am reading/being told something I cannot swallow as the truth, because it seems so ridiculous.

I am being told that you need a Premium license to even login as a Supervisor at all. Like, not for extra functionality (silent monitoring), but just as a basic license requirement to even sign in.

Also, I am being told a Premium license is required for Administrative users too. Like, even the app admin account. So what, completing a fresh install now requires a Premium license?

Are either of these true? Can you confirm from your own tests that this is in fact how Flex works in UCCX on-prem?
