Basic IVR Ports Licensing—Basic IVR ports are not licensed and a given configuration may have 
as many Basic IVR ports as fit given the server on which the system is deployed and the mix of other 
features deployed on that server. You must use the Cisco Unified Communications Sizing Tool to 
determine the maximum number of Basic IVR ports that are supported on a per configuration basis. 
Basic IVR ports provide a queue point, custom messaging and prompting, caller input collection, 
and processing via DTMF decoding. Decoded DTMF input may be used for both routing and screen 
pop purposes. Basic IVR ports (and only Basic IVR ports) are available in both the Standard and 
Enhanced packages.
  •
Advanced IVR ports licensing— Advanced IVR ports are licensed on a per inbound voice seat basis 
and are available only with the Premium package. Each inbound voice seat provides two Advanced 
IVR port licenses. For example, a 100 seat inbound voice deployment provides 200 Advanced IVR 
port licenses. Advanced IVR port licenses counts are checked at run-time. In the example given here, 
the 201st simultaneously active request for an Advanced IVR port to handle an incoming call would 
be denied. Deployments requiring more IVR ports than provided by this 1:2 seat:Advanced IVR port 
ratio would need to purchase one additional Premium inbound voice seat for each two additional 
Advanced IVR ports required.
Note
The number of IVR ports is also limited by the maximum number supported for a given server platform 
as listed in th
. In case of virtualized deployment, the maximum number 
of IVR ports is limited by the maximum number supported for a given virtual machine template.
