SBCE licensing

[kozlik]

Hi,
I am currently preparing for Avaya desing certification, and not so familiar with SBCE and its licensing.
I am trying figuring out how this licensing math works..Can someone help a bit or explaine me how this thing works please? Any helpfull links would be appreciated.

You have a customer who requires both SIP Trunking and Remote Workers. After examining
the features needed overall, you have determined that 700 Core Suite licenses are required.
You still need to quote SBCE licenses, in addition to the entitlements included with Core Suite licenses, to support a total of 120 PSTN SIP trunks and 330 remote workers.
The customer has agreed to a 3 remote worker users to 1 session access basis-How many additional standard and advanced a la carte SBCE licenses are needed? (Choose two.)
(A). 30 SBCE Standard Licenses
(B). 20 SBCE Standard Licenses
(C). 10 SBCE Advanced Licenses
(D). 20 SBCE Advanced Licenses

Thanks for any advice.

Check the ASBCE overview document, and go to the licensing section. This will explain most of the answer. The rest of your answer probably lies within something that describes the product licensing/entitlement suites.

Oh god.

That's an awful question because Core Suite licenses aren't available anymore. That question hasn't been updated since they went to mandatory subscripion licensing.

The new way with subscription licensing would say 700 Core users gets you 700 Standard and 700 Advanced and HA

The licenses are built atop and require standard licenses.

That means 1 Standard HA is useless without 1 Standard (for a HA pair for trunks)
That means 1 Advanced is useluess without 1 Standard (for a single box solution for remote workers)
That means 1 Advanced HA is useless without Standard HA.

Core suite licensing gave you 7:1 Standard sessions and again for advanced sessions.

Basically, Core Suite licensing included enough licenses to have 100 trunks or 100 remote workers - but not both - for 700 users.

So, you get 100 STD and ADV. Then 120 trunks means +20STD and 330/3 = 110, so +10ADV

Of course that would leave you with a solution where if 60 remote workers made PSTN calls, you'd use 60STD+60ADV for the station side and 60 more STD for the trunks and then all your trunks would ring busy.

What a stupid question.
