Chapter 2 Installing Web Conferencing
Preinstallation Tasks: Web Conferencing
Installing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server
You must install and configure Audio Server software on a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8100 series
server before you begin the Web Conferencing installation. (Refer to the Installation and Upgrade Guide
for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/ps5664/ps5669/prod_installation_guides_list.html.)
Planning Web Conferencing License Usage
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.0 introduced a new license usage model for Web Conferencing.
In this model, users joining a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace meeting from the web see one of two meeting
console formats, with different license requirements:
The meeting console format that participants see in a meeting depends on the Host Meetings With setting
in the profile of the meeting scheduler. When planning for web conferencing license usage, consider the
licensing capacity of your Web Conferencing server and determine which groups or individuals should
have the capability to schedule meetings that utilize the full meeting room.
Files for license keys that you may add or upgrade are made available to you when you purchase a new
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system or upgrade to the current release. These files are loaded into your
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8100 series server when it is purchased. To add additional web conferencing
licenses to the Audio Server, refer to the “About Loading Cisco Unified MeetingPlace License Keys”
section in the “Managing and Maintaining Cisco Unified MeetingPlace” chapter of the applicable
Administration Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/ps5664/ps5669/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.
Installing SQL Server on a Remote Server
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing requires SQL Server. You can choose to install SQL
Server on either the same machine as Web Conferencing or on a separate machine. If you choose to
install SQL Server on the same machine as Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing, the installer
will handle the installation of SQL Server 2000 and the appropriate service pack on your local system
automatically; in this case, no pre-installation steps are required.
If you choose to install SQL Server on a separate machine, install both SQL Server 2000 and the
appropriate service pack on a separate Windows machine before installing Web Conferencing. This can
be a Cisco
MCS or legacy non-Cisco MCS.
