About Licenses
Cisco provides a Product Authorization Key (PAK) with the Cisco Unified Conferencing for TelePresence order. After registering the PAK, Cisco Systems e-mails you a license file, and you upload the license file to the server to enable its capabilities. The License Manager service enforces these license limits.
Table 2-1 provides information about Cisco Unified Conferencing for TelePresence licenses.
