Cisco phone licenses with CME

[bobsnav]

How can I verify how many phone licenses I have with my system? I think I got screwed by our installer and I'm not sure if all of our phones are licensed for CME.

I think he might have pulled this scam on me

Generally you get a paper 'license' that says you paid the $150 for the license. Other than that I don't know of any way to tell. This is the reason Cisco changed the licensing on CallManager from the $150 per phone to the DLU's tied to the MAC address of the server. Somehow they'll catch up on CME, just not yet that I know of. For CME, your pretty much limited by the router that you are running on for the max number of phones you can use.

In CUCM version 5 & 6 you can do this:
Go to your administration page.
Click on System -> Licensing
There you will find several options chose license unit report.
Try that for your CME

Caos is the natural order of things...
