Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance - Advanced licensing is based on the endpoint quantity. The number of endpoints determines
the number of licenses that you need to purchase to manage your network. Along with the total number of endpoints, you must
also consider the system capacity parameters, such as the number of each supported endpoint types, and CDR limits, to choose
the most suitable virtual machine resources for your deployment.
With Assurance Advanced option, you can manage Cisco voice and video Collaboration Systems through a single, consolidated
view. It includes continuous, real-time monitoring and advanced troubleshooting tools for Cisco Collaboration applications
and endpoints, such as Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server (Cisco VCS), Cisco
TelePresence, and so on.
The mode of installation is Evaluation or Advanced. To learn more about Advanced install mode, see Deployment Model - Advanced.
The quantity of the endpoints determines the number of licenses that you need to purchase to manage your network.
Along with the total number of endpoints, you must also consider the system capacity parameters, such as the number of each
supported endpoint types, and CDR limits, to choose the most suitable OVA for your deployment.
For more information on system capacity parameters for Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance Advanced 12.x, see the System Capacity for Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance.
The Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance Image (R-PC-xxxx) license is required to activate Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance
in a production network. You must order one license for each server. A new license is required for each major upgrade and
is included in the upgrade parts and the Product Upgrade Tool entitlements. For more information on the Product Upgrade Tool,
see Version Upgrade Guide.
You can purchase scale licenses based on the endpoints that you want to manage. For more information on the scale licenses
and part numbers in Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance and Analytics 12.x, see Cisco Prime Collaboration Ordering Guide. You must have Cisco partner privilege to access the Ordering Guide.
Note |
All Unified CM registered endpoints in a specific cluster must be managed in Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance to provide
the statistics data to support all monitoring, testing, and reporting features in Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance and
Analytics; for example, statistics from the Unified CM Publisher CDR are required to compute route group utilization, Severely
Conceal Seconds Ratio (SCSR)(%), and call failure measurements. When the Unified CM publisher is discovered, all endpoints
(including phones) registered with it are discovered.
