Cisco Unity Connection licenses are required to use various features supported with the product. To use
various Unity Connection features, corresponding licenses must be installed on Prime License Manager
(PLM) and Unity Connection must synchronize with the PLM server to obtain the desired license status.

Installing Licenses on the PLM server

Follow the given two steps to configure the Unity Connection licenses:
1. Install license on the PLM server. For more information, see the “New License Planning and
