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.

Use the Cisco Device Assignment Tool (Device Assignment Tool) to assign users to devices in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Releases 6.x and later. This tool helps simplify your licensing when you upgrade your system and your existing users do not have assigned devices. In user-based licensing, devices are assigned to users to simplify self care and device management for you. From a licensing standpoint, devices that users own share a license, instead of requiring a separate license for both a device and a user.
The tool connects to your system and reads the configured devices that are not assigned to users. Using rules that you select, the tool matches users to unassigned devices. You can review the user-to-device matches, make manual changes if needed, and then apply the results in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.
