Cisco Software Licensing
The Cisco UC500 Series platforms support CSL so that the platforms can be upgraded or downgraded
in the field. A system with 8 users can be upgraded to a 16-user license. A system with 32 users can be
upgraded to a 48-user license. The number of users can also be downgraded.
IP phones are registered, based on the availability of a license for each phone. The system reloads when
a system license is downgraded due to license expiration or by configuration by the user, and when the
number of registered phones exceeds the user license count.
The following software licensing features have been implemented:
• The software supports evaluation, extension, permanent, and grace-period licenses.
• The licensing infrastructure manages the installation and expiration events.
• To see license information, use the show license, show platform software license, and show
version Cisco IOS Command Line Interface (CLI) commands.
• To upgrade the UC 500 systems, use the license feature uc500-16u-upgrade and license feature
uc500-48u-upgrade Cisco IOS CLI commands. To downgrade the licensed configuration, use the
no versions of these commands.
• To install extension licenses and permanent licenses, use the
license install flash:<license_filename> Cisco IOS CLI command.
Obtaining a License
Follow these steps to obtain a license:
Step 1 Purchase a PAK for the desired type of license.
PAKs are purchasable items, ordered in the same manner as other Cisco equipment. PAKs are used to
obtain license files for feature sets on specific classes of Cisco devices.
