Switching Unity 5.0 from Unified to Voicemail only
|

| Are there any caveats to switching license files on Unity from Unified to
Voicemail only? I have a client with 200 Unified licenses currently
installed. They have a need for 200 more licenses to bring them up to
400 but would like to purchase voicemail only because they do not use
Unified. Voicemail only would be cheaper for them. I know that you cannot
mix unified and voicemail only licenses on the same installation. Can they
convert the old Unified licenses to voicemail only? Will the Unity system
need a fresh rebuild in order to go back to voicemail only? Unity version is
5.0(1).
Thanks,
Jason

| Not really, Unity doesn't really know the difference, so you really just
need to make sure your ducks are in a row with the licenses themselves
and how you use them (i.e. not logging in to voicemail only user's with
outlook, etc). No need to rebuild.
Also, you actually can mixed VM and UM licenses with 4.2(1) and later,
so things are that much easier :-)

| In 4.2 (or 4.1) they introduced a Voicemail-only user license you
could get for some users in a unified environment. It was a cheaper
license that had less features then a full unified user license. This
would still require the mail account on the exchange side however...
just a cheaper unity license.
The following Unity 5.0 overview / Q&A mentions the mixed mode support
is in 5.0.

I personally have not seen anyone use mixed license types yet.
