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.
    • You can't downgrade from a professional to a standard license without loss of all provisioning and configuration information for all affected users. We recommend this option to only be considered in extreme circumstances where all other options have been exhausted.

      For Webex online customers, only the Professional license (User) license is supported and workspaces are not supported.

  • 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

    You can't downgrade from a Professional to a Standard license without loss of all provisioning and configuration information for all affected users. We recommend this option to only be considered in extreme circumstances where all other options have been exhausted.

    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. AI Assistant for calling support is not offered for Standard licenses.

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

  • Assigned Devices—A Professional workspace can have up to five assigned devices. Each assigned device uses the same primary line. This device limit is separate from the total number of shared lines supported by the license. Even with five assigned devices, the workspace's primary line can still be shared with up to 30 additional multiline endpoints.

  • 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.

    The following features aren’t a comprehensive list of the capabilities of the Webex Calling service.

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.
