Note:
"Cloud Extensions" is a temporary group name for a growing number of hybrid services. Forthcoming versions
of Cisco VCS software and documentation will use "Hybrid Services" in place of "Cloud Extensions".
Which services am I entitled to use?
When you purchase Cloud Extension services you get access to Cloud Collaboration Management—an administrative
interface to the Cisco Collaboration Cloud. In Cloud Collaboration Management you can check your organization's
service entitlements and enable features for your users.

What software do I need?
The on-premises components of Cloud Extensions are called "connectors", and the Cisco VCS software contains a
management connector to manage registration and other connectors.

How do I install, upgrade, or downgrade?
The connectors are not active by default, and will not do anything until you configure and start them. You can do this

Note:
We do not normally advise downgrading Cisco VCS, although we try to ensure that the interface remains
accessible if you are forced to restore a previous version. However, we explicitly do not support a downgrade of the
Cisco VCS software from X8.6 versions while the Cisco VCS is registered for Cloud Extensions. If you have to
downgrade, you must deregister from Cloud Extensions before you downgrade.

Where can I read more about Cloud Extensions?
Cloud Extensions are continuously developed and may be published more frequently than Cisco VCS. This means

License Bypass for Calls to Collaboration Meeting Rooms (CMRs)
The Cisco VCS no longer requires traversal call licenses for calls to and from cloud-based CMRs. This includes SIP
calls between Collaboration Cloud and the CMR Hybrid solution.

Note:
This only applies when the dialed string does not need transformation on the Cisco VCS (for example,
user@sitename.webex.com).
Although untransformed SIP calls to cloud-based CMRs do not consume licenses, they do consume resources and
may not progress if the Cisco VCS is at full capacity.

There is no license bypass for CMR Premises calls. H.323 calls to cloud-based CMRs still consume licenses.
