Features available by license type for Webex Calling

list-menuFeedback?
Webex Calling licenses can be assigned to Users or Workspaces depending on the feature requirements.

With Webex Calling, there are three license options available, Professional, Standard, and Workspace.

  • Professional license (User)—Built for individual user Calling needs. The User Professional license includes support for soft clients, including the Webex App. Virtual Line and Group Voicemail are entitled to a 1:1 ratio for every Professional license.
  • Professional license (Workspace)—Built for workspace Calling needs. Workspace supports device end points only.

    The Professional license (Workspace) isn’t applicable for Dedicated Instance.

  • Standard license (User only)—Built for the individual user’s needs with standard telephony features

    A Standard licensed user can have either a physical device (Cisco collaboration device, Cisco phone, ATA, or third-party device) or all soft client(s) (Webex App, desktop, tablet, mobile), but not both.

Here is a description of key terms referred in this article:

  • Shared Lines—A shared line in calling refers to a single phone number that is accessible to multiple devices or users. These lines are owned by a licensed Webex Calling user and shared with other Webex Calling users. Thus supporting the multiline capability. For example, a professionally licensed user can share their line with a maximum of 35 devices or users.

  • Multiline Capability—The ability to see and access lines other than a Webex Calling user's primary line. The number of multiple lines accessible to a licensed Webex Calling user depends on the device. For example, an MPP 7821 supports two line keys but the Webex App supports up to 10 line keys for shared line assignment.

    Currently, key expansion module (KEM) can only support 16 lines but you can use the lines for monitoring beyond 16.

  • Assigned Devices—Each license type has a maximum number of devices that you can add to a user or workspace that is independent of the number of shared lines supported per license. For example: A Professional workspace license supports assigning a maximum of five devices per workspace. Each device consumes one shared line, which means this workspace can have five devices with five shared lines. In total this device still shares the workspace line with 30 other multiline end points.

  • Workspace license (Workspace only)—Built for shared use and common area locations, Cisco phones, and ATAs. Limited to a single device. Not intended for an individual user’s Calling needs.

Route List Calls License

Webex Calling also offers Route List Calls license. This is an add-on license for the organizations who have users on On-Premises PBX like CUCM and want to use Cloud Connected PSTN using Route List Calls feature.

The maximum route list calls volume for an individual subscription is 10,000 calls. During trial, you get 10 concurrent Route List Calls licenses.

If you have Webex Calling Dedicated Instance subscription, you already have Route List Calls feature. Hence, additional license is not required.

For more details about Route List license, see PSTN trunking for hybrid Webex Calling deployments.
