Understanding Your Telepresence Server's Conferencing Capacity; License Keys And Screen Licenses - Cisco TelePresence 7010 Help Manual

Understanding your TelePresence Server's conferencing capacity

This topic addresses the concept of conferencing capacity for all types of Cisco TelePresence Server, in all modes of operation, and is present in the help on all platforms.
This means that some of the information here is not relevant to your particular model.

License keys and screen licenses

The TelePresence Server's licensing model is based on 'screen licenses', which are purchased and supplied in the form of a license activation key. Screen licenses
activate the conferencing capacity for the TelePresence Server. The full capacity of a TelePresence Server is activated by applying the maximum number of licenses,
which differs by hardware platform as follows:
Hardware platform
TelePresence Server MSE 8710
Cluster of two, three, or four TelePresence Server MSE 8710s
TelePresence Server 7010
TelePresence Server on Media 310
Cluster of two TelePresence Servers on Media 310
TelePresence Server on Media 320
Mixed cluster of TelePresence Servers on Media 310 and Media 320
Cluster of two TelePresence Servers on Media 320
Cisco TelePresence Server on Virtual Machine (8-core)
Cisco TelePresence Server on Virtual Machine (16-core)
When licensing TelePresence Server MSE 8710s, you will apply the license key to the chassis via the Supervisor web interface, and then allocate the screen licenses to
the slots that house the TelePresence Server MSE 8710 blades.
When licensing any of the other platforms, you will apply the license key via the TelePresence Server's own web interface, on the
Licensing clusters
When licensing a cluster of TelePresence Server MSE 8710 blades, we recommend that you allocate licenses to each blade's slot. In practice, the activated screen
licenses are effectively pooled and allocated to the master blade in the cluster so that the number of available screen licenses is the sum of screen licenses allocated to
