Cisco Catalyst 3000, Administration Manual

Page: 117 / 496

Cisco Business Edition 3000 invalidates all starter licenses on the server, although the phones and features
continues to work as expected for existing users, even when starter licenses are invalid. If the starter
licenses are invalid and you have not installed permanent licenses yet, you cannot perform the following
tasks:
◦ Assign a usage profile where Reach Me Anywhere, Cisco Extension Mobility, or voicemail are
enabled to a user.
◦ Enable those features in usage profiles where they are currently disabled.
◦ Add more phones to the system.
◦ Whether you have oversubscribed a license type; that is, all licenses for a particular license
type have been used, and you cannot borrow from another license type because the license
type does not have any licenses to loan (or loaning and borrowing is not supported amongst
the types). If oversubscription occurs, you cannot perform the following tasks:
◦ Assign a usage profile where Reach Me Anywhere, Cisco Extension Mobility, or voicemail are
enabled to a user.
◦ Enable those features in usage profiles where they are currently disabled.
◦ Add more phones to the system.
The following events may trigger Cisco Business Edition 3000 to dynamically manage the licenses; that is,
licenses may move from available to used or vice versa (from used to available).
• You add a user extension or department extension as line 1 on the phone.
• You disassociate the user from the phone.
• You delete the phone.
• You enable or disable Reach Me Anywhere in the usage profile of the user.
• You enable or disable voicemail in the usage profile of the user.
• You enable or disable Cisco Extension Mobility for the user in the usage profile.
• You assign more phones to the user.
• You install more licenses.
• Starter licenses or licenses that are used with same server recovery are marked as invalid by Cisco
Business Edition 3000.

file for each type is associated with the MAC address of the Cisco Business Edition 3000 server.
