Licensing question

[jeffhoge]

Pardon the fairly trivial question...

I'm on MCD 4.2 and noticed that there is only one type of IP user license displayed ("IP User License"). Previously, when I was on an earlier release, I remember two different fields for SIP users and IP (I assume Minet) users.

Here's the question: is there a difference between SIP and IP user licenses now? If I remove a generic SIP device and replace it with a Mitel device, can I recycle the license? Or vice-versa? I am not using embedded messaging.

Yep only SIP trunks a seperate license now. SIP devices and Mitai devices all are just take a user license. Therefore you don't have to purchase a SIP user license if you want to try out a SIP client on an iPad for example.

I'd tell you a UDP joke but I'm afraid you won't get it. TCP jokes are the best because you always get them.

Thanks! This is an excellent move on Mitel's part.

You no longer require licenses for resiliency either.

starting in MCD 4.1 where Mitel introduced Standard and Enterprise deployments. Enterprise licensing included automatically a license for the secondary controller. Downside is that enterprise licenses more expensive because of it. So in other words if you have a phone that you don't need to make resilient, you pay the higher price. Stupid in my opinion.
