What is ELM? • New product - feature introduced in Kirra. • Licenses are now managed by an Enterprise License Manager (ELM) • ELM can run on a separate server or co-resident with product • ELM stores all the licenses the enterprise/SP purchased for the UC solution. • ELM tracks the "feature usage" of each product registered for license management and then evaluates the overall license status of the features under use.  • Based on the feature usage evaluation and the availability of licenses for the features, each product is notified of its license status i.e., whether or not the product is in compliance. • UC products (UCM, UC, BE5K, BE6K) will be supported in 9.0 as well CUP via UCM and HCS.
