I've got an Avaya CM installed with system/session manager. When I program a 9611G H.323 station I see my license count drop by 1 in CM. But, I'm confused about where my license for SIP stations reside. I have quite a number of SIP stations programmed but I'm not clear on where those stations pull their license from. Any ideas out there.
Thanks

Depending on your configuration, you should see your license count drop in CM when you add a SIP station. I actually checked that today on my own system. I'm still using an evolution setup.

They typically don't care. Session Managers need an instance license for the server to exist. CM needs licenses for stations - whether analog/digital/H323/SIP.

Because a SIP phone is only useful on CM using CM features, the licensing is managed on CM.

So, when you buy a system new with 100 Aura Core users, it includes an entitlement for a CM phone, AAM mailbox, Presence Server account, etc,etc
It also gets priced to include 1 server instance license for the servers needed to fulfill that - so, 1 presence, 1 aam, 1 cm, etc

Build that phone as h323, SIP, digital, whatever.

There are exceptions like hotels adding gaggles of analog only ports for cheap or adding another CM instance because you want 2 PBXs for your users, but the overarching concept is paying for users and those users can connect from any type of endpoint - 9608 H323, 9608SIP, Windows softphones, iPhone, whatever.
