Cisco UCL vs UWL (CUWL)

Cisco UCL and UWL are two types of licensing for Cisco IP Telephony deployments. The top level difference between them is that UCL is licenced per user per application, where as UWL is just licensed per user. CUWL licensing covers many more applications than UCLand because of this costs more is you compare a set of UCL licenses with a set of UWL licenses, however UCL only covers one application so if you are doing more than call processing UCL starts getting expensive.

For example if you want call processing and voicemail you can either buy one CUWL license per user or 2 UCL licenses per user (one for call processing and the other for voicemail).

This is a great quick reference:
