The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The only prerequisite to deploy "Jabber for Everyone" is that you must be a Cisco Unified Communications Manager customer.
This section describes the hardware and software requirements for the "Jabber for Everyone" offer.
The "Jabber for Everyone" offer supports Cisco-provided, third party compatible, or virtual hardware solutions. For more information about hardware requirements, see the appropriate compatibility information for IM and Presence Service and Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
For Cisco Unified Communications Manager nodes, adding users with the "Jabber for Everyone" offer should not impact the scalability for the core voice and video users.
For IM and Presence, mixing full UC mode users and users added with the "Jabber for Everyone" offer is supported on the same node, or cluster. The following formula shows how to determine how many users you can add to your deployment with the "Jabber for Everyone" offer:
Number of "Jabber for Everyone" users = (Number of full UC users/Maximum number of full UC users) x Maximum number of "Jabber for Everyone" users
For example, if you have 10,000 full UC users on a server that supports a maximum of 15,000 users, then you are operating at 2/3 of the scale for UC, which means that 1/3 is available for "Jabber for Everyone" users. The IM and Presence Service supports 25,000 users for IM-only mode, therefore, you can add 8,333 users (25,000 x 1/3) through "Jabber for Everyone". This amounts to a total of 18,333 users.
This section describes the software requirements for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, IM and Presence Service and Cisco Jabber clients.
" Jabber for Everyone" is supported with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 9.0(1) and later. For earlier releases of Cisco Unified Communications Manager, you must install a Cisco Option Package (COP) file to support "Jabber for Everyone". However, there is no requirement for a COP file to support "Jabber for Everyone" with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 9.0(1) and later.
If you do not currently have Cisco Unified Presence Release 8.x or IM and Presence Service Release 9.0(1) installed, you must order IM and Presence Service Release 9.0(1) and later. See the "License Requirements" section for more information.
If you currently have Cisco Unified Presence Release 8.6(4) or earlier installed, you must upgrade to IM and Presence Service Release 9.0(1) and later. You can acquire IM and Presence Service upgrade software as part of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Unified Communications Software Subscription (UCSS) in addition to UCSS for Cisco Unified Presence.
For information about how to upgrade to IM and Presence Service Release 9.0(1) and later, see the Upgrade Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
See the relevant Cisco Jabber client documentation for software requirements.
With the "Jabber for Everyone" offer, Jabber IM client applications and IM and Presence Service (on-premises1) licenses are available to Cisco Unified Communications Manager customers at no additional license cost.
Ordering options are available for existing User Connect Licensing (UCL) and Cisco Unified Workspace Licensing (CUWL) customers as follows:
