  • Access workspace license through Control Hub and API to view license usage

Today, creating a workspace consumes a Common Area license without the need to select a subscription. This limits the association of a specific workspace license with a particular subscription and tracking of the workspace license consumption.

This feature allows administrators to assign workspace license to a specific subscription and view the workspace license usage in the Control Hub. You can also assign the workspace license using an API from the developer.webex.com. This feature is beneficial for customers with multiple subscriptions looking to derive the license usage for a specific subscription.

For details, see Configure and manage Webex Calling devices and Add your customer-managed device.

 

  • Assign workspace license to a specific subscription

You are now required to pick a Webex Calling subscription to associate the device to the workspace. When using the Migrate Enterprise phones to Multiplatform (MPP) firmware tool, download the latest device template from the tool prior to uploading a CSV.

 

  • Promote workspace license to professional license capability

The administrators can now assign a professional license to a Workspace. You can upgrade an existing workspace (Common Area) license to professional. The upgrading provides a workspace with all the capabilities of a professional license without the need for purchasing a new license.

For details, see the following articles:

• Features available by license type for Webex Calling

• Configure and manage Webex Calling devices

• Add your customer-managed device
